bordercollie Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Honestly, I'd say 2112 is the highest. The only notes in Cygnus i need to dodge are "LIGHT of deneb" (F5) "HEART of Cygnus" (F5) "My ship can not resist HER long" (F#5) "GAINS CONTROL"(G5) "SEA UNENDING" (A5) and "TORN APART" (Bb5)In 2112, I have to dodge pretty much every high part in Temples, Presentation, and Soliloquy. You can't say 2112 is the highest when there is concrete proof his range peaks in Cygnus. If the question was "which song is the more difficult to sing," it would definitely be 2112, because parts of the song live in a super high register, whereas the peaks in Cygnus are more spread apart, or are just one note here and there.

goose Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Eel, I know nothing about the technical side of music. Which one is the highest note? F5?All you need to know is that Geddy is no Minnie Ripperton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7MqTrXwojk A Major scale from F#6 to A5 Edited October 7, 2015 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordercollie Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 That makes no sense. A song in monotone at F5 is higher than a song that's 10% in G5 and 90% in D5 according to your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel Yddeg Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Think about it this way. What if a song was sung in the third octave, but had some random A5 or B5 near the end? Would you say that song is higher than one sung entirely from C5-G5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordercollie Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I would say the jumpier song is higher, but the consistently high song is far more difficult to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadRockGirl Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Aha, I KNEW I remembered seeing a low F on sheet music before... In Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres, in the spacey intro leading up before "Apollo was astonished" -- "...thunderbolts, across the sky, I cannot move, I cannot hide, I feel a silent scream begin inside." The red "I" is a low F, F2. That's too low for most natural tenors to reach. Most males are baritones, and F2 is at the very bottom of their range, some being able to hit the low E2 or D2 with a struggle (or when we first wake up in the morning) QUOTE The highest note in "Cygnus X-1" is an A#/Bb5 QUOTE The lowest note in "Cygnus X-1" is an F2 That puts Cygnus X-1 as having a 3 and half octave range. Incredible. The Star Spangled Banner only has a 1 and half octave range, and many people can't even sing that range. GEDDY! The Banshee of rock and roll! I'm pretty sure I can reach that low note but only just. Does this mean I'm a man? :7up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 That puts Cygnus X-1 as having a 3 and half octave range. Incredible. Yes, it truly is. Jeff Buckley had a three and a half octave range, too, and used it in many of his songs. Listen to Mojo Pin, Grace, Lover You Should Have Come Over, or Corpus Christi Carol...those are all found on the same album. Everybody Here Wants You is another good example, as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
