May 31 - Alfred Deller (The Musical Birthday Series)

Alfred Deller (31 May 1912 – 16 July 1979) was one of the first countertenors to achieve genuine stardom.  

 Old Deller

Alfred Deller

Had a stellar

  Countertenor voice.

Quite a rebel

Singing treble

   As his vocal choice.

Pioneering,

Onward steering!

   This is my high five now:

No more ghetto

Of falsetto, 

    Countertenors thrive now.
