SATB: Can you crack the mystery of the missing “A” in this crossword?

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Musiclandia, there was a prestigious choir where all the vocalists were categorized into four parts: Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. Their harmonies were so enchanting that people from all over the kingdom came to hear them sing.

In this choir, the vocalists were like puzzle pieces, each with their own unique sound. They would often challenge each other with musical riddles and puzzles to test their knowledge and warm up their voices.

One day, the choir director, Maestro Melody, decided to create a special crossword puzzle for the vocalists. He knew they loved a good challenge and he wanted to see if they could find the missing piece of the puzzle.

The clue was, “The ‘A’ of S.A.T.B.” – a riddle that left the vocalists scratching their heads. Why was that ‘A’ so significant? They pondered and discussed, but no one seemed to have the right answer.

Curiosity getting the better of them, the vocalists began exploring the magical world of Musiclandia to find the solution. They ventured into the majestic forests filled with musical notes, where every step they took created a beautiful melody.

After days of searching, the vocalists stumbled upon a wise old songbird named Alvin, who lived atop a towering tree. Alvin was famous for his knowledge of music history and theory.

The vocalists eagerly asked Alvin the riddle, and without hesitation, Alvin chirped, “Ah, my dear vocalists, your answer lies in the term S.A.T.B. It stands for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass, the four vocal parts. The ‘A’ in S.A.T.B. represents the Alto, a voice with a rich and velvety tone, nestled between the Soprano and Tenor.”

The vocalists were amazed! It all made sense now. The pieces of the puzzle fell into place, like a beautiful harmony coming together. With a joyful heart, they rushed back to Maestro Melody to share their newfound knowledge.

Impressed by their determination and thirst for knowledge, Maestro Melody revealed the missing piece of the puzzle – ALTO. It was the answer they had been searching for all along.

From that day forward, the vocalists of Musiclandia cherished the crossword puzzle and the connection it held with their harmonious world. They would often gather around, challenging each other with musical riddles, and always keeping the memory of the elusive “A” of S.A.T.B. and the sweet sound of the Alto alive in their hearts.
