Thanks, Ken! Very interesting. I have to say I can utterly relate. When I
have to sing 1st tenor for even a few minutes (the Episcopalian ATB chorus
I was in often switched to TTBB for certain anthems), it takes a while for
my brain to rewire into alto mode again. It is a very different kind of
coordination.
It's interesting, the converse is apparently true as well. A certain
heldentenor on this list (who is participating on this very thread ;-) once
told me he felt his former countertenoring interfered with his development
as a dramatic tenor voice.
