treble
| The highest register of a boy's singing voice (approximately equivalent in range to the soprano voice of a woman), about F4–C6, or the highest-pitched member of a family of instruments, for example the treble viol. The term is also used to refer to the right hand of a piano piece. |
| The term is derived from the Latin triplum, the top part of early three-part motets. |
