ABSTRACT
This chapter is really a postscript, but one in which predict about the future of boys' singing. The Cambiata Vocal Institute of America, under the leadership of Don L. Collins, maintains this tradition and continues to publish music designed to keep boys singing during voice change. The best composers and arrangers perhaps to study the cambiata principle, but certainly to give really serious thought to the boy modal voice during the years of puberty as a largely untapped musical resource. Not that many of them are vocal specialists and, paradoxically, their specialist musical training can make them more aware of shortcomings in singing than primary teachers. The best youth-adult dialogue has become more a dialogue of mutual, earned respect than deference demanded by right. If we treat boys badly, we must not be surprised if so many of them grow up to inflict that pain on the next generation.
