The standard reference on Faecher is the Kloiber Handbuch. This is used by
all German, Swiss and Austrian Theatres.

'Clarion' in this context is probably a simple qualifying adjective
describing the timbre of the particular voice under discussion.

Hi all,

I was reading an article where a singer was described
as being a "clarion tenor" (can't remember who they
were talking about right now). I've heard and read
about quite a few tenor classifications before, but
"clarion tenor" is new to me. Does anyone know what
range and vocal quality is meant by this
classification?

While I'm on the topic, does anyone know a good
website that explains the different fachs/voice types?
The topic of voice type comes up on this forum from
time to time and I don't have instant recall on the
various voice types.

Thank you!

Ingo
