Christopher, Thank you for writing. The sixth and seventh Harry Potter operas are dramatic and heldic, respectively; they are intended to be heavy, and they are scored for adults only. The first two operas, both of which are light lyric, are the only selections of the seven in which children and teens are cast. NB: I teach voice in SD, and I specialize in children. My music degree's focus was opera; I've studied voice capabilities fairly well. You might enjoy researching some of the newer scores for young voices; The Little Prince has an interesting score for boy soprano. To be fair, I haven't posted my plans for the scoring of each book, where style and genre differences are concerned, on the opera's Website; these will contain the style and voice types for each opera. I hope to do this in the coming months; I'll have more score samples, including Harry's first aria for boy soprano, up then also.

Great idea. -just a note for Admin. and all: If ever you friend or subscribe to me on You Tube, please also send me a message telling me who you are.

The Harry Potter Opera Cyclewww.harrypotteropera.comThis is a portion of a theme that first appears in the sixth opera of the cycle, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and develops in the seventh opera, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I used Finale 2008 for scoring and audio output, and I'm sorry to say that because Finale doesn't like Vista, I wasn't able to add articulations, so the resulting audio sample is a touch vertical.The ground bass represents a static set of characters and situations, while the oboe (voice) is a dynamic and sympathetic character (not telling which!). The theme occurs at crises in both operas and develops texture with the maturity of the characters and complexity of situations. I hope to move it into atonality in the seventh opera; Im still playing with the tonality of Deathly Hallows, which is certainly heldic.Tiffany Moon, composerwww.harrypotteropera.com The Harry Potter Opera Cycle: Sample: Half-Blood Prince
