falsettoIn music, the tone-production of male singers resulting in notes above their normal pitch in the female (soprano or alto) register, and sounding like an unbroken voice. The notes are ‘falsely’, or artificially, produced by making the vocal cords vibrate at a length shorter than usual. Falsetto is the voice normally cultivated by male countertenors. |

Save for a few falsettos, Ritter doesn't sing so much as he talks beautifully. And fans of William Finn, composer of Falsettos and other fast, funny musicals, know he's good at writing songs for smart, awkward kids. Falsettos is a Broadway musical that William Finn and James Lapine put together from their earlier, short off-Broadway pieces, March of the Falsettos (1981) and Falsettoland (1990). |
