Abstract Details

2012, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Voice.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the male tessitura of the Ohio Music Educators Association’s 2009 AA and A music list for the SATB and TTBB choral ensembles. Through a review of available literature on the subject, a pedagogically healthy and developmentally sound tessitura standard has been defined for the changed young male voice. This tessitura standard has been applied to the Ohio Music Educators Association’s class AA and A High School Required Music List for 2009. An enhanced and modified tessitura analysis tool based on methodology used in Robert Shewan’s text Voice Training for the High School Chorus (1973) has been applied. Conclusions have been drawn as to the appropriateness of these choral selections for the immature high school male voice.
