Perspectives on the Countertenor: Interviews with Kai Wessel, Corinna Herr,
Arnold Jacobshagen, and Matthias Echternach
The presentation will focus on
specific topics investigated in interviews with countertenor by Prof. Kai
Wessel, Dr. Corinna Herr, Dr. Arnold Jacobshagen, and Dr. Matthias Echternach. Through
interviewing each scholar, a further understanding of the voice type was
obtained. Specific topics investigated include: pedagogical application; the
voice type historically; the vocal mechanism. These interviews have
demonstrated that while there is much agreement over the voice type in recent
scholarship, a further investigation into various topics concerning the
countertenor, and other voice types, too, is essential (e.g. Is Appoggio really
the correct form of inspiration for all singers? Should the countertenor voice
be categorized into separate stimmfachs, and if so, how? What are the exact
vocal registers that could be outlined and identified for the countertenor
voice?).
