Great Book to Develop Hand Motions
By Brock McElerhan
 4 Part “History”
Soprano - 1730, from It. soprano "the treble in music," lit. "high," from sopra "above," from L. supra, fem. abl. sing. of super.
Alto - 1784, from It., from L. altus "high," originally "man with an alto voice," though it is now more commonly applied to the lower range of women's voices (which is more strictly the contralto), an extension first recorded in 1881.
Tenor - 13c., "general meaning, purpose, drift," from O.Fr. tenour "substance, sense," from L. tenorem (nom. tenor) "contents, course," originally "a holding on," from tenere "to hold." The sense in music is c.1388, because the sustained melody (canto fermo) was carried by the tenor's part.
Bass - "low" (voice or instrument, ranging from the E flat below the bass stave to the F above it), c.1390, originally base, infl. by It. basso, from L.L. bassus "short, low," possibly from Oscan. Meaning "bass-viol" is from 1702; that of "double-bass" is from 1927.
