Guaranteed to bring a tear
| This is beautiful and inspiring. Please read first as it's makes the music more enjoyable. You absolutely must see this video. It is taken from a British series where a guy called Gareth Malone takes a group of people and turns them into a choir. This time he's taken a group of military wives whose husbands are all away in Afghanistan and turned them into a choir. Gareth looks about 16yrs old but is actually in his mid-30s and a Choir master for the London Symphony Orchestra, among other things. They wrote a song based on excerpts from letters written by the couples whilst apart and this is the beautiful result. The single is out in the UK on Monday and thousands have been pre-ordered and all the money raised is going to military charities. Enjoy! Happy New Year, and may all wars cease.... militarywiveschoir's Channel - YouTube |

5 Octave women and many octave men. Few singers could have a 5 octave range.
Mirah Carey is a 5 octave.
Axl Rose is listed as a Baritone (B1-A5). If that's true that's an almost 4 octave range.
Freddie Mercury was a Legiero Tenor F2-F5 (3 octaves); up to E6 in falsetto (which makes 3 7/8 in falsetto).
Toni Tennille (of famed 'Captain & Tennille') has a 6 octave range and is also a 'contralto' (she does the deepest voice a woman
can do and can reach the highest octave; as well as the one's in-between). Though you couldn't tell by her work on songs like
'Love Will Keep Us Together' or 'Muskrat Love' (LOL) you CAN hear her range all over Pink Floyd's The Wall
album (she does ALL the female vocals and voices) and does the 'operatic voice' on a track from 'Dark Side Of The Moon'
