Wikipedia
A baritone is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range lies between the bass and the tenor voice types. It is the most common male voice. Originally from the Greek , meaning deep (or heavy) sounding, music for this voice is typically written in the range from the second F below middle C to the F above middle C (i.e. F–F) in choral music, and from the second A below middle C to the A above middle C (A to A) in operatic music, but can be extended at either end. The baritone voice type is generally divided into the baryton-Martin baritone (light baritone), lyric baritone, Kavalierbariton, Verdi baritone, dramatic baritone, baryton-noble baritone, and the bass-baritone.
Baritone generally refers to the vocal or instrumental part between the tenor and bass lines. For more on this see Musical instrument classification. Baritone might refer to:
-
Baritone voice type
- Bass-baritone voice type
- Baritone horn (sometimes called simply the baritone or abbreviated to bari)
- Baritone saxophone (sometimes called simply a bari or barry)
- Baritone guitar
- Baritone ukulele
- a possible alternate spelling of Baryton
- Hautbois baryton, or baritone oboe, also called the bass oboe.
