What Are the Vocal Ranges? (Music Notes)

This is a very cool little video. Basic, but everybody has things yet to learn.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Not a moment wasted. Well done, you.

All but one of those vocal ranges gets a line in the musical notation — all but mine.

Frustrated Baritone.

Sort of a reverse illustration of my time as a late-puberty boy in high school choir.

It's slightly disappointing that they don't cover outliers like the basso profondo. I remember the first time I heard Fac, Ut Portem Christi Mortem from Karl Jenkins' setting of the Stabat Mater. The basso profondo in that piece, Tuukka Haapaniemi, is astounding if slightly unnerving. It shouldn't be possible for humans to sing that low. There's a preternatural feeling listening to him hit the D1 (and the rest of his notes) on that track.

In Bono's excellent "Surrender" he often says that he is a baritone who thinks he's a tenor.
