Song Diagrams

Music greeting card illustrating the difficulty of singing various songs. Printed in England on an uncoated, light cream 300gsm Italian paper, which is recyclable, biodegradable and FSC certified.

‘Song diagrams’ adapted from The Voice, An Introduction to Practical Phonology, WA Aikin (1910). The vertical axis shows the range of a given voice type (soprano, contralto etc.), while the horizontal bars plot the prevalence of each note (C, D, E etc.) sung in a given composition. In this way the diagrams attempt to show which pieces of music require a lot of high notes and might, consequently, strain the singer.

All our greeting cards are 170mm x 120mm (approx. 5” x 7”) and blank inside, individually wrapped in a compostable wrapper made from plants, with a 100% recycled, 110gsm kraft envelope.
