What evolutionary purpose does the difference in male and female voice pitch serve?

I love to listen to a melodious female voice, to hear a great singer reach notes that leave me sounding like a choked duck. But why did the human male end up with larger vocal chords, an adams apple, and a deep voice while females have a soft, high-pitched one? It must have some evolutionary purpose. Mating selection in the dark?
