Countertenor
A countertenor is the highest voice for a male singer. The voice is a similar range to a female alto although it the timbre of it can make it sound like it is much higher. Some countertenors can sing as high as sopranos.
Timbre is a musical term which describes the quality of the sound e.g. is it light, harsh, smooth.
