AbstractThe vibrato rate for ten singers, all singing Schubert's Ave Maria, was measured on sonograms. Commercially available CD records were used to insure that the vibrato originated in a real musical performance. It was found, that the vibrato rate typically increased at the end of each tone, +15% in average, while no typical structure could be found in the beginning of a tone. Disregarding the increase of vibrato rate toward tone endings, the mean rate across singers was 6.0 Hz. The average variation between maximum and minimum rate within an artist is about ±8% of the artist's average.
