I'm a baritone. Baritones don't mature until late.

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing.

I love to sing. I'm a soprano.

In a way, I started out to be a baritone player.

I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed.

The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It's got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity.

A soprano's voice is a little like a mother's cry, which is why it attracts all human beings.

You got to play the flute as a flute, like that. You can't play like a tenor concept on soprano; it sounds wrong. But some guys do it, and they think it's O.K., but not so!
