| Okay, I appreciate your responses, and have another one for you, Chromolume (or anyone else who thinks they may know). Years ago, I was sitting at the bar at Sardi's with a gent, whose portrait was nearby on one of the walls. I'm not sure if this is true, and it's the only time I ever heard it, but we were discussing the show "Nine" original cast, and he said that shows put the keys like a half-step (or a whole step) above someone's optimal tessitura, to make it somewhat harder for them so as to register for the audience more as "excitement". I don't know about this, though I do maintain that Raul Julia, as excellent as his acting and overall performance was in "Nine" was struggling with some of his songs. They really should have been put in lower keys, as he had problems with the tessitura and the high notes on the several times I saw the show. But what about this gent from Sardi's contention? Have you ever heard of it? |
