concertante voice
Declined
Concertante just means that something has the properties of a concerto, instead of, for instance, a symphony. In this case, it probably means that is an important voice as a solo, like in a piano concerto the piano is the most important.

solo voice
"Parte concertante" in a concert refers to the "a solo", which other instruments serve as accompaniment. It could refer to either a singer or an instrument. By extrapolation, "voce concertante" would translate as and " solo voice" - the singer would be a "soloist", as in the quoted phrase.
