A vocal technique used in vocal music. A high voice used by male singers to expand the upper limit of their vocal range. In Japan, it is commonly called "falsetto". It was a particularly important vocal technique in 16th and 17th century England, and many singers made it their specialty. They were called male altos or counter tenors, and had the same vocal range as female altos. However, unlike castrati (male singers who were castrated to maintain the vocal range of their youth), they lacked vocal power, so today only tenors occasionally use this technique. In the world of popular music, male soul singers use this technique, and in the field of folk music, it is used in Swiss yodeling and the Japanese folk song "Hohai-bushi".

声楽における発声技法の一種。男性歌手が声域の上限を広げるために用いる高い声。日本では一般に「裏声」とよばれる。16、7世紀のイギリスでとくに重要な発声技法で、これを売り物にする歌手も多く存在した。彼らはメイル・アルトmale altoまたはカウンター・テナーcounter tenorとよばれ、女性のアルトと同じ声域を出していた。しかしカストラート(少年時の声域を保つため去勢した男性歌手)とは異なり、声量の面で力強さを欠くため、今日ではテノール歌手がときおりこの技法を用いる程度である。ポピュラー音楽の世界では男性ソウルシンガーが好んでこの技法を用い、民俗音楽の分野ではスイスのヨーデル、日本の民謡『ホーハイ節』などに使われている。 [アルバレス・ホセ] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
