SOWolfgang Saus performs both the bass and soprano lines of Canon in D simultaneously using overtone (polyphonic) singing.
What you’re hearing isn’t a trick or a duet. By carefully shaping his vocal tract, Saus amplifies specific overtones hidden inside a single low note, allowing a clear, whistle-like melody to emerge above the bass. The soprano line was always there — embedded in the harmonic series of the fundamental pitch.
This technique taps into something ancient. Long before modern theory, composers intuitively built melodies from the natural overtones of a basso continuo. Overtone singing simply makes that invisible music audible.
