[ Post a Response | Much Ado About Douglas: It's All About The Sills ]
Posted by english on 12/5/2006, 8:34 pm, in reply to "I need help answering a question..." "Baritenor" is a slang word describing a male voice whose tessitura lies between the baritone and the tenor. The word is frequently used to describe one of the most common male musical vocal types, rather a pop singer than a true operatic baritone with an upward extension into tenor territority and with a baritonal quality. Baritone (French: baryton; German: Bariton; Italian: baritono) is most commonly the type of male voice that lies between bass and tenor. Originally from the Greek, meaning 'deep sounding', music for this voice is typically written in the range from the second G below middle C to the E above middle C (i.e. G2-E4), though it can be extended at either end. I'd say, given these choices, he falls in the lower end of tenor or barritenor range. But that's based solely on my 0 days of music and voice theory training.
