contralto(n.)

In medieval music, in which the melody was either in a middle voice or passed from one voice to another, and which utilized only male singers, the upper voice was naturally called altus. As music for mixed voices developed, that female voice which was nearest the altus, and thus most contrasted with it, was called contr' alto. [Century Dictionary]
在 medieval music 中,旋律要麼在中音中,要麼從一種聲音傳遞到另一種聲音,只使用男性歌手,上聲自然被稱爲 altus。隨着混聲音樂的發展,與 altus 音部最接近且最對比的女聲被稱爲 contr' alto。[世紀詞典]
