"Curious to note that while Carrie also gets up to a G (in the iconic ending to 'Mister Snow'), the 'lead soprano' Julie only sings up to Gb. So even if Nettie is a mezzo, she still sings just a bit higher than Julie."
Thanks for mentioning that. I originally wrote that Nettie actually sings just a tad higher than Julie, but then I looked at the score and thought that I was wrong. I had remembered Julie singing up to an F in "If I Loved You" (although I think when I have posted about this on Facebook in the past, I wrote F sharp, same difference with G flat), but when I looked in the score I saw a G and didn't check the key signature carefully enough. |
