I see this term appear all the time. Corelli had it, Domingo doesn't... I
would like it if somebody would explain what that is, since I have not
noticed its existence or lack thereof.

Squillo is an Italian term which to me defines a brilliance of tone,
usually found at the upper end of the voice. You are right that Corelli
had it - and he had it in spades!

It is often considered a "halo" which surrounds the note. Some people
feel a singer is singing sharp when actually it is this added brilliance
to the sound that is heard. Speaking of Corelli, one should listen to
his Capitol recording of "Granada" to hear "squillo" at its best. The
ending high C does sound a bit sharp, but is it really? Or is it that
brilliance of "squillo" we hear? I say it is the "squillo" that adds
that something extra to the note.

For me, squillo is a welcome embellishment to the sound of the voice -
and one we hear very little of today.

This topic has come up many times. Squillo is intense, concentrated head or
nasal resonance. This is resonance in the nasal cavities above the hard
palate. One can check for head resonance while singing by putting a finger on
the bridge of the nose. If there is such resonance, one can feel an intense
vibration there.

When resonance is concentrated in the head or mask, and reinforced with very
strong breath support and "covering," the voice produces a very bright ringing
sound that produces overtones and adds an edge to the voice. The quality of
the singing voice is partly determined by the intensity of this head resonance
and its balance with resonance in the mouth and chest.

Corelli produces a great deal of squillo because he has very powerful breath
support and focusses his voice in the mask on high notes by "covering" them.
Female singers also have lots of head resonance but the effect is different
than from male singers because women are singing in a higher register and do
not "cover" their high notes.

If you have stood near a singer with a great deal of squillo, as I have, the
effect is remarkable. Projected out into a big hall, this resonance adds
brilliance, ring, and definition to the voice. Without squillo, the voice
sounds less brilliant, less cutting, and softer or woolly.

No easy feat, as a squeal would characteristically be "hi", rather than
"lo".....though, there are, of course, exceptions..
( "moans", perhaps? "Moannnnnaa Liiisaa, Moannnnnaa Liiissa, they have
named youuuu...")

LT
Some require two hours to watch "60 Minutes".. nothing lacking there,
I'd say -- IF due to "reading between the lines"....

Squillo is the effect of honing overtones and focus into an art, and squeallo
is the sound that a pig makes when you step on it.
Squeallo is sometimes associated with the sound certain tenors make, as
opposed to some sopranos who can sound like a cat that has been nailed to the
wall. Sometimes it is a word associated with thugs who liken the sound that
some rat finks make when they squeal on their associates which some pigs call
singing.
Some in the opera industry will say that you can never teach a pig to sing,
but some policemen have sung very well on TV and respond very well to training.

Seriously though, In Italian, squillo is associated with the brilliance in
the sound that a trumpet makes, and the first line of text the soldiers chorus
makes in act 3 of Trovatore refers to the squillo of war trumpets. When a whole
chorus can sing with squillo it is actually quite an exciting sound. Haven't
heard it very often though.

And the text of the chorus Norma refers to the squillo of a gong.

An entire chorus of squillo would certainly be exciting, but it depends a
lot on the context. It doesn't make for a good blend, and there is plenty
of music where I wouldn't consider it appropriate at all.

I'm trying to recall - in the Operatic version by Andre Previn,
did "Stanley the K" (Rodney Gilfry) say - or sing - an equivalent of
this?

Stanley yells it, but doesn't sing it. Previn was certain that singing the
line would draw a laugh (as Flanders does in the excellent Simpsons' spoof).
