- Summary:
- Boy choirs are one of the oldest musical traditions in the Western world.While audiences admire boy singers for their distinctive treble notes, boys who sing in soprano voices have to contend with the notion that they're doing something effeminate, even emasculating, because they sing in a vocal range typically reserved for women and girls.
