Herr we have a case of counter tenor who can sing both the alto and the soprano range.Its very uncommon except in baroque operas.There were also a great use of these type of voices in Carl Orffs Carmina Burana. They're interesting to hear specially for their uncommon sound and new possibilities
Frondi tenere e belle Del mio platano amato Per voi risplenda il fato Tuoni, lampi, e procelle Non v'oltraggino mai la cara pace Né giunga a profanarvi austro rapace Ombra mai fu Di vegetabile Cara ed amabile Soave più Ombra mai fu Di vegetabile Cara ed amabile Soave più Cara ed amabile Ombra mai fu Di vegetabile
