Has anyone noticed this musical trope?
Like why are the good guys usually tenors/sopranos and the villains usually altos/basses? For example, in Les Misérables, Cosette and Valjean (a soprano and tenor, respectively) are obviously the good guys. Javert has the lowest singing voice of all the characters, and he’s a “bad” guy. And I use the term “bad” very loosely because Javert is an antagonist who’s just trying to do his job and technically not a villain. #javertisnotavillan And Madame Thénardier has the lowest voice of the female characters, and she’s a chaotic evil type. An exception in Les Mis is Bamatabois, who is a tenor, but is a major jerk for literally no reason. I’m just using Les Mis as an example because most of my followers are Les Mis fans, but there are a ton of other musicals that use this trope. Maybe it’s because songs written for lower voices are more “scary”, and songs written for high voices are usually bright and uplifting? I don’t know. Great. Now I’m imagining Castle On A Cloud being sung by Till Lindemann and Javert’s part of The Confrontation being sung by Ariana Grande.
reblogging this because i need answers
This actually began in the early days of opera, during the Italian Renaissance!! The main characters (both men and women) would be sung by sopranos, because high singing voices were seen as heroic and masculine. There’s a beautiful love duet from Orfeo (I think) where the voices are difficult to tell apart because they’re both sung (in modern productions) by women. I like it personally, because it really emphasizes the equality in the relationship! Because the main characters sang in the soprano range, everyone else had to be in the lower range. This included villains, yes, but also the chorus, and side characters, including who would later become the “basso buffo” (or silly bass) character (i.e. Papageno from the Magic Flute). [aside: Speaking of the Magic Flute, it’s interesting, because The Queen of the Night, the villain of the story, is what we would call a first soprano. My hypothesis is that this is because she’s a main character, and also that by Mozart’s time, high voices weren’t seen as quite so masculine anymore, and it was all right to have the villain have the same voice part as the heroine.]
When Louis XIV imported opera to France, the male voices were replaced by tenors, though because of tradition, they were still given very high parts. This continued until it became a trope! When Wagner, aka the guy who made the modern opera world what it is today, started to write, he maintained this dichotomy between protagonists and other characters, but since he’s Wagner, and most of the other characters were bad, people sort of ran with it, and now there’s a sort of trope that the soprano is either the female lead (Legally Blonde) or the soubrette (Hairspray) and the alto is the villain (Les Mis) or a good but minor character (Great Comet) (and the same for the men, of course!
So in conclusion, altos and basses can blame Wagner for not getting the main roles :3
I’ve been existing in a constant state of quast lately.
a comprehensive collection of weird-ass wikipedia articles to read when you're bored
fair warning: while some of these articles are just silly or weird, i do like to freak myself out, so a fair amount of these are creepy and/or morbid! some of the links involve death and occasionally suicide, so consider this your blanket warning for potentially upsetting/tiggering stuff! also when you’re white-knuckled gripping the bedframe at four am because you’re too freaked out to go get a glass of water and you think there’s an axe-murderer in your closet, don’t go a-blamin’ me. you clicked the link.
