S. M. Sen,
An online paper -- with appendix -- for Music Literature and History 244: Music of the Romantic and Modern Eras, Spring 2008. Sen explains how the sound of the tenor we know today is the result of gradual change in opera composition--the tenor came to replace the castrato only after vocalists collaborated with composers.
