Roger's high notes

Does anybody know many octaves Roger could lift his voice?

No. I also hate those sharp/bright colours, like yellow.

i love dark colours like black. best colour in the world!

Recorded: low D to high E (without falsetto), and to high C with falsetto

But it doesn't mean he couldn't get higher than that...

Sebastian, when you say High C, you mean one tone above the Bb he sang in the opera finale (for me, for meeeeeee") of BohRhap?

If so, where did he sang that high C?

Oh...

and the high E (Without falsetto), is it the same note Freddie sang in Innuendo ("till the eeend of time") ?

Anyway, examples are appreciated. Thank you very much. ;)

By "High C", you mean C5 ? - the C above middle C.

I'm just mentioning since someone - especially a female - might think of "High C" as C6.

"C5" is called "Tenor C" or "Tenor High C". Which is pretty damn high.

To be honest, I'm a little confused. Because Sebastian, you said High E in head voice, High C in falsetto.

Do you mean High E as E4 ? And the High C as C5 ? Hearing Roger on "Bohemian Rhapsody" with the B4 (flat), I wouldn't suppose he could get to C6... O_o But... then again, I've always thought he was really a woman...

Also, what do you mean by Low D ? I would imagine a D2 (The D above the C two-octaves below middle C). But possibly D3 ? I don't really know - I would have thought Roger could sing lower than me, but maybe it's just his husky voice ?

> Sebastian, when you say High C, you mean one tone above the Bb he sang in the opera finale (for me, for meeeeeee") of BohRhap?

Yes I mean two semitones higher than that - 'Seaside Rendezvous', trumpet part.

> and the high E (Without falsetto), is it the same note Freddie sang in Innuendo ("till the eeend of time") ?

I think the one in 'Innuendo' is Eb, so Roger's E is higher. He hit it, for instance, in 'More Of That Jazz' (the final "no MORE"), without falsetto.

> By "High C", you mean C5 ? - the C above middle C.

I should have said "overhigh C" then :)

And Roger could sing very low too - listen to him in 'I Wanna Testify'. The low D (D1) is found in 'Action This Day' (he does octave vocals there).

Alright I think we're using different notations, you and I. That is what I call C5. Because the one in BR is a Bb4 in the system I use. Are you using European Notation or something ?

The one at the end of Innuendo appears to be a Eb4. The one Roger hit is indeed E - a semitone higher.

A D-1 I believe, would be my D3... Huh... I'm not sure AT ALL. I'm terrbily confused... haha, don't mind me !

Does that look like his range ? The Low-D to C ?

I think we're using different notations, so I'm not sure. :D

Low D ('Action'): 73.42 Hz
Low A ('Ride The Wild Wind'): 110 Hz
High E ('Jazz', 'Car'): 659.26 Hz
High Bb ('Bo Rhap'): 932.33 Hz
Overhigh C ('Rendezvous'): 1046.50 Hz

Oh, I think I see where I got confused...

It seems I'm using a diffent "Middle C" then everyone... :P I was using C4 as middle C while the web-site (and, it seems, everyone else on the face of the planet) used C3.


So...

For anyone who cares :

This a piano coloured with the frequencies listed, below it is Freddies (just for fun) :

ADDENDUM : The yellow one is Middle C.

I'm not sure I belive that Roger Taylor was even in posession of testicles, or if he was, they were malfunctioning.

Fred did a low C in 'Leroy Brown', and a low E in 'All God's People'.

Roger said himself, that he believed he was on a high F in Bo Rhap.
Gotta test that...

Yes it is F
