I sang "She Walks in Beauty" in 1990 for a patron of the New York Philharmonic—text by Lord Byron, with a setting by Joseph Turrin. The earlier version on my site was nearly a half-step sharp! This one is remastered at the correct pitch.

When you show a tenor, who has been forcing his chest, what headvoice sounds like. While my baritone does not have tenor squillo, the mechanism is the same. The tenor hears and feels real resonance in the back of the head and behind the bridge of the nose. They called it post-nasal resonance.
