Spot on - it's back to context and culture. (And I'm not an especially "blokey" bloke...) I'm not sure that "old" hymns are any more of an answer, but there are all sorts of issues wrapped up in this, even something about the musical pitch of contemporary chorus writing. (I personally find I either have to sing in harmonies or uncomfortably low, for example). Isn't there some (apocryphal?) evidence relating the pitch of singing with endorphin release? It's certainly something I've heard on several ocassions...
