What is a "soprano?"
What is a soprano?
The soprano is the highest pitched female voice. Sopranos typically sing melodies. At times, the term "male soprano" has been used to identify men who sings falsetto in order to achieve a soprano vocal range. This practice is most frequent in England. But the more typical conventional term for them is counter tenors. A few specific men can be considered true male sopranos and none of them have typical voice box development.
In choral music terminology soprano does not refer to a voice type. It instead refers to that particular part of music. It's most commonly the melody. Male singers whose voices are prepubescent are technically known as trebles.
Finally, in addition to referring to singers, the term soprano is also frequently used to refer to a specific member of a particular instrumental family that has the highest range. For example, a soprano saxophone. Many other musical instruments are named similarly. To continue the theme there are also the tenor and the baritone saxophone.
Soprano vocalists are particularly cherished for their clarity and beauty and soprano vocal parts are most commonly the melody because of the clear way in which they stand out.
While soprano opera singers don't typicaly hold music folders, choral sopranos do. An ergonomic music folder can do wonders for a soprano's choral performances!

Leontye Price - Opera Star
Leontye Price was the first African American opera star. Her voice was known to bring Audiences to their feet and she starred in musical productions from some of the finest composers ever. She once receieved a 42-minute ovation.
Opera singing is surely different from choral singing - but both can be perfect examples humanity's ability to produce exquisite beauty through song.
