Francis' experiences so far have largely been with Baroque music, Monteverdi, Purcell, Bach, Handel and so on, but there is a lot of fine contemporary music being written for the counter-tenor voice. He would jump at the chance to sing more contemporary music, however, he admits that many of these contemporary roles sit quite high, something that he says is not his 'wheelhouse'. By contrast, Handel and Monteverdi suit him.
