[edit] Whom thou hast chained?

That does not look right to me. I think it should be "Whom thou has chained." Are you sure? --Ssilvers 16:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

It's what it says in the VS (well, "chain'd", but that's because I have the god-awful crap fest of the 1970's re-setting with its ridiculously stupid font choice.) and is the correct old-fashioned declecion of "have" (I have, thou hast, he hath). Adam Cuerden 17:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I checked a range of scores and librettos, and "hast" it is. Marc Shepherd 02:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vocal range of Hildebrand

I changed this to Bass-baritone, and it was changed back to baritone. Anyone who has ever sung Hildebrand can tell you that it sits very low, like Pirate King and Don A. Yes, Hildebrand has to shout a high F, but the tessitura of the role is definitely bassy. But suit yourself. --Ssilvers 13:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
