Talk:SATB

Thoughts
I wondered whether this should merge to four-part harmony, but there are 560 oncoming links to this page so that's not to be taken lightly. Andrewa (talk) 02:40, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Potential source regarding early music
This page here has interesting information on topics related to renaissance music performance; of particular interest are the sections on "Voice types" and "Pitch & transposition". From a quick read I couldn't determine exactly what should be included and what shouldn't. RandomCanadian (talk | contribs) 21:46, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Sax SATB
For Sax SATB, the lowest saxophone voice is in my opinion the Bariton sax and not bass. Grimes2 (talk) 14:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * yes, but they still use B, - say it more specifically if you want. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:29, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe link to Saxophone quartet? Grimes2 (talk) 14:33, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Ranges
I wonder if the ranges - which are in the individual voice parts - are helpful here. If yes, tenor should be given in the normal treble clef notation. (I tried but am too bad in lilypond.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:19, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Looking closer: C as upper limit for alto looks ridiculous ;) - Bach often demands E, a third higher, and 20th-century composers go up to F-sharp and G. Even normal congregational singing would be up to D. - Soprano same: why G when Beethoven wanted C in the Ninth Symphony? Back to the suggestion to drop the section, or write something qualifying. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
