Singing Cheek to Cheek: what your voice is in for
Twenty eight semitones sounds terrifying until you remember there are two singers in the room. The researched range on this 1956 recording runs C3 to E5, a 28 semitone span, and it is really two overlapping songs: gravel-warm phrases anchored on the C3 floor and answering choruses that float to the E5 ceiling. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong trade the tune rather than share it, so for a solo singer the deciding moment is choosing which chair is home and committing to it.
The math backs the split. Tenors sit exactly on the written floor but face seven semitones over the full ceiling: honest casting for the low chair, with the high answers taken down an octave. Mezzos are the mirror, clearing the E5 top by one semitone while sitting nine above the C3 floor: take the high chair and float the low asides up. Altos land in between, two over the top and five above the floor, close enough to cover both halves with light octave adjustments. No verified key is stored on this entry, so set yours from whichever half you sing at full voice and treat the other as character work.
Practice cue: sing one chorus twice today, once in each chair. Swing survives an octave change gracefully; strain never does, and this song should never once sound like work.
