N2  - The prime purpose of this paper is to draw on a range of diverse literatures to clarify those elements thatare perceived to constitute a ?beautiful? sung performance. The text rehearses key findings from existingliteratures in order to determine the extent to which particular elements might appear the most salientfor an individual listener and also ?quantifiable? (in the sense of being open to empirical study). Thepaper concludes with a theoretical framework for the elements that are likely to construct and shape ourresponses to particular sung performances.
