It's not funny kalhabamut. Countertenor is a male voice range indeed, as well as sopranist. Take this :p : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuwI6IfXYo

Well, a castrato is high-pitched because, well... but there aren't any more in our time (fortunately). Sopranists rather work their falsetto.

If by "it" you mean your stepping in to over explain something that didn't require it, thereby destroying the joke, yes, I agree, that wasn't funny at all.

not for vocal ranges. No one can regularly or proficiently sing anything higher than what we consider soprano, because after awhile, everyone is using falsetto in their really high range. Falsetto is sort of its own register, as we no longer are using our diaphragm to produce more sound.

But yes, in the flute line up:

piccolo, soprano, alto, C, bass

I'm a french-speaker, and we never call it "Les mis". Anyway, it's just a question of consistency, if "Phantom" and "Lion King" are accepted, then "Misérables" should be as well.

Most English speakers who know the musical will call it Les Mis. Seeing as it is most commonly performed in English, I think they are allowed to.

Wikipedia says the male voice of countertenor is the equivalent vocal range of contralto.

Brahms is not a classical composer. He is a romantic composer (the musical time period after the classic period).

I'm assuming classical is used in the broader, more generally understood sense, not in the more precise sense you're referring to. In the popular conception the term 'classical' covers baroque, classical and romantic as well as conceivably various other genres either side of those.

Is not Bach a baroque composer? I think the use of classical to mean orchestral is well-known. Most people would recognise both Bach and Brahms as classical, as opposed to jazz, folk, etc. I'm pretty ignorant so please do correct me if I'm wrong. Good quiz.

Just throwing this out there: I sang in a choir for a few years and people would just say "mezzo" for "mezzo-soprano". Don't know if it's common everywhere, though.

Technically you can use mezzo to qualify a dynamic marking also. Mezzo-piano, mezzo-forte. But you're right, in this particular context, mezzo would most certainly only refer to mezzo soprano:)

Since you include contralto as a vocal range you should also include countertenor as well. Neither are very common but as a classical music enthusiast I've heard more countertenors than contraltos.

Much as I love Brahms's music, it always feels like he's in the 'three Bs' just to make up numbers. Quite influential, but nothing close to the innovation of Beethoven and Bach.
