WHAT DOES HELDENTENOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tenor

A tenor is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is one of the highest of the male voice types. The tenor's vocal range lies between C3, the C one octave below middle C, and, the A above middle C. In solo work, this range extends up to, or "tenor high C". The low extreme for tenors is roughly A♭2. At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to two Fs above middle C. The term tenor is also applied to instruments, such as the tenor saxophone, to indicate their range in relation to other instruments of the same group. Within opera, the lowest note in the standard tenor repertoire is A2, sung mostly in Rossinian Andrea Nozzari's roles, but also in other composers' operas. The high extreme: a few tenor roles in the standard repertoire call for a "tenor C". Some of the few top Cs in the standard operatic repertoire are either optional or interpolated by tradition. However, the highest demanded note in the standard tenor operatic repertoire is D5. Some operatic roles for tenors require a darker timbre and fewer high notes.
