Great explanation, but I still don’t like the operatic voices. Guess I’m too modern. I like natural voices, and operatic voices seem to me to be very unnatural. Just a difference of opinion! No big deal. As an instrumentalist, I only hear voices as ,,,, sort of, another instrument. I never know what the lyrics are about, as I’m totally into the instrumentation. But,,,, that was my job, if you know what I mean?

Well, God did give us voices to sing.

True story
I used to go to a church where there was always this one HORRIBLE voice from a woman who sang LOUDLY. DREADFUL!!

I mentioned it to the organist one day and he said:
God made her voice so He should have to listen to it too.

Lol. After that I used to smile when I heard her.
