A record company has begun a worldwide search for the singer who can sing a note so low that it is thought never to have been sung before.
Written by Military Wives composer Paul Mealor, the choral work De Profundis includes a low E, which lies more than two octaves below middle C.
It is six semitones below the lowest note ever written for a choral piece - a B flat from Rachmaninov's Vespers.
The search for the bass voice will take place via trade magazines and online.
