Sung on recordings · E2–E4
Leonard Cohen sings E2 to E4 on record.
Leonard Cohen sings E2 to E4 on released recordings — 2 octaves, 25 notes.
That is the sustained sung range across released studio and live recordings: whistle register, screams, growls, spoken low notes and one-off falsetto squeaks are left out, and where sources disagreed the narrower reading was taken.
The bass band, E2 to E4, holds 100% of the notes between E2 and E4. The catalogue holds no songs by Leonard Cohen.
Two sources, and they disagreed. This is the narrower one.
