  • In music, the term tessitura generally describes the most musically acceptable and comfortable range for a given singer or, less frequently, musical instrument; the range in which a given type of voice presents its best-sounding texture or timbre. This broad definition is often interpreted to refer specifically to the pitch range that most frequently occurs within a given piece, or part, of music. For example, throughout the entirety of Wagner's Ring, the music written for the role of Siegfried ranges from C♯3 to C5, but the tessitura is described as high because the tenor phrases are most often in the range of C4 to A4. In musical notation, tessitura is used to refer to the compass in which a piece of music lies – whether high or low, etc. – for a particular vocal (or less often instrumental) part. The tessitura of a piece is not decided by the extremes of its range, but rather by which part of the range is most used. The tessitura of a part will often influence what clef a particular piece of music is written in. Melodic contour may also be considered to be an important aspect of vocal tessitura. The "tessitura" concept addresses not merely a range of pitches but as well the arrangement of those pitches. Tessitura considerations include these factors: proportion of sudden or gradual rises and falls in pitch - speed of pitch changes; the relative number of very high or low notes; whether lines and phrases of music in the piece tend to rise or fall – the muscular abilities of a singer may be more suited to one or the other direction. Although frequently ignored in discourses on tessitura, the volume (loudness) level which a singer is required to maintain for dramatic effect will often have an effect on which 'fach' or tessitura in which he or she may specialise. For example a lyric tenor may have the vocal range to sing Wagner or other dramatic roles, but to maintain the loudness required for dramatic intensity over the span of an opera performance could either inflict vocal damage or be simply beyond the innate ability. Verdi's Othello is a good example of the need for a voice capable of substantial power throughout the length of a performance of the opera.
  • Die Tessitur ist im Gesang der Bereich des Stimmumfanges, der für den musikalischen Ausdruck nutzbar ist. Die Tessitur hat einen geringeren Umfang als der physiologisch mögliche Stimmumfang. Zur Tessitur gehören diejenigen Töne, die der Sänger langfristig klangschön und mit dem für eine Partie erforderlichen Timbre in der notwendigen Lautstärke erzeugen kann, ohne dabei physiologische Schäden zu erleiden. Bei vielen Sängern beginnt die Tessitur ca. eine Quinte über dem tiefsten physiologisch möglichen Ton und endet ca. eine Quinte unter dem höchsten möglichen Ton. Es gibt aber auch viele von der Regel abweichende Fälle, gerade bei extremen Lagen, so Stimmen mit Pfeifregister oder tiefe Bässe. In der Klassifizierung von Opernpartien bezeichnet der Begriff auch den für eine Partie erforderlichen Stimmumfang.
  • In musica la tessitura identifica un particolare campo di frequenze o di timbri propri di uno strumento musicale. Può anche essere riferito alla parte della voce di un cantante che ha la migliore resa sonora e un timbro adeguato. Nella notazione musicale, inoltre, la tessitura è l'insieme delle note che sono racchiuse da una chiave.
  • テッシトゥーラ(イタリア語:Tessitura)とは、音楽においては、特定の前後関係における音高のまとまりのこと。曲の中のある部分の音域や声域を指したり、記譜法においては、音部記号によって示唆される音域ないしは声域のことを指す。 英語のテクスチュアに相当するイタリア語で、作曲法や楽曲分析において使う場合、普通は声楽曲や、ある楽曲における声楽パートに適用し、音符が並んでいる全般的な範囲のことをいう。あるいは声楽パートや、時には器楽パートに関連づけて、音楽的に受け容れられる心地よい音色の意味にも使われる。この意味においては、英語のテクスチュアに近い。

  • Na música, tessitura refere-se ao conjunto de notas usadas por um determinado instrumento musical, com a qualidade necessária à sua execução. No caso da voz humana, refere-se ao conjunto de notas que um cantor consegue articular sem esforço de modo a que o timbre saia com a qualidade necessária. A tessitura tem, portanto, uma abrangência menor que a extensão. Enquanto que a extensão representa todas as notas fisicamente realizáveis, a tessitura refere-se às notas mais frequentemente utilizáveis. Em termos de grafia, a tessitura representa-se pelas notas mais grave e mais aguda ligadas por um hifen, com a indicação numérica da oitava a que pertencem. Exemplo: dó3 – lá5. Por vezes, numa partitura para coro ou voz solista, indica-se a nota mais grave e a nota mais aguda das partes vocais, a que se dá o nome de âmbito.
  • Тесситу́ра (итал. tessitura — ткань) — преобладающее расположение звуков по высоте в музыкальном произведении по отношению к диапазону голоса или музыкальному инструменту. Различают высокую, среднюю и низкую тесситуры, соответствующие возможностям высоких, средних и низких певческих голосов и разновидностей музыкальных инструментов.
  • Tessitura, sångtekniskt begrepp, en vokalstämmas normalläge. "Tessitura" används ibland felaktigt som synonym till register och omfång. Tessitura är en term inom vokalmusiken och används för att förklara vilket läge en sång eller en operaroll har. Man menar då inom vilket tonspann som rollen eller sången huvudsakligen håller sig inom, alltså borträknat de allra högsta och lägsta tonerna. När man skall lägesbestämma en operaroll så är det i första hand tessituran som avgör, och inte omfånget. En altroll kan innehålla toner ända upp till 3-strukna c men medan tessituran håller sig mestadels i 1-strukna oktaven (med en anings tänjning uppåt) samtidigt som en sopranroll bara går upp till 2-strukna h, men däremot mestadels ligger inom f1-f2 (1-strukna till 2-strukna f). Inom notskriften motsvarar tessituran en klav.
