An Italian term meaning “bright–dark” or “clear–dark” borrowed from art history to describe an ideal resonance balance between low and high frequency components in Western classical singing. It is usually accomplished (in middle and lower ranges) by some balance in power between the first formant and the singer’s formant cluster, or possibly between the first and second formants.[1]
