Folk · Contralto · F3–F5

Folk songs a contralto can sing in the original key.

Of the 13, 6 go below F3.

Every Folk song that fits F3–F5

The best-known songs come first, and the easier ones first inside that. Rows whose chart position nobody matched sit at the end.

Folk songs whose whole melody sits inside F3–F5 in the original key.

What this list is

The catalogue holds 430 songs with a sourced lowest and highest note, and 13 of those are Folk. A song is on this page only if both of its notes already sit inside F3–F5 — nothing has been moved to another key.

A voice type is a convention for classifying a trained voice by timbre and where it sits, not a test result on its own.

No song here is marked safe or risky. Those labels are read off notes held for two seconds, and this page has not heard you sing.
