Abstract
In singing, tessitura refers to the pitch range and median pitch level of a song. Physiologically, a singer has his own tessitura. It is shown here that a voice range profile, which is a plot of intensity range or subglottal pressure range versus fundamental frequency, can be used to quantify the tessitura of a singer. Finding the best match between the singer’s tessitura and the vocalist’s tessitura can help performers predict their success on certain compositions that cannot be transposed or to find the ideal transposition. Concepts of vocal endurance and dynamic range are also discussed in light of the tessitura-gram.
