Baritone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The baritone singer is often the one required to support or 'fill' the bass sound (typically by singing the fifth above the bass root). In music, a baritone (from Greek βαρυτονος 'deeply, heavily sounding') is a male voice of intermediate pitch, between bass and tenor. In barbershop music, the baritone part sings in a similar but somewhat lower range to the lead (singing the melody), but has a specific and specialised role in the formation of the four-part harmony that characterises the style. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Baritone   (490 words)

Bass-baritone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A bass-baritone is a singing voice that shares certain qualities of both the baritone and the bass. The term arose in the late 19th century to describe the particular type of voice required to sing Wagnerian bass roles like Wotan (in the Ring Cycle) and Hans Sachs (in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg). For example, the role of Wotan in Die Walküre covers the range from the F# above middle C to the F below the bass clef but only infrequently descends beyond the C below middle C. The term is also used to refer to a singer who possesses such a singing voice. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bass-baritone   (198 words)

The Pirates of Penzance SavoyNet Discussion Baritones are yet another step up the spectrum, and usually are required to be able to carry a lighter colour down into the lower parts of the bass clef, but it is rare to find a baritone with an extension which goes down into ledger lines below the bass clef. There are a number of different weights possible for a bass-baritone, and for the most part, a middle weight bass-baritone is dark enough (bassy enough if you will) for most GandS parts. To me a Bass role suggests the roles with the lowest bottom range, the lowest tessitura (essentially the average place where it sits) and the darkest colour. math.boisestate.edu /GaS/pirates/discussion/appn2.html   (432 words)

JAMES MORRIS, BASS A handsomely built 6'4" and possessed of a magnificent bass baritone voice, Morris easily fills the requirements of a Wotan, a commanding figure saddled with contradictions of his own creation. While it is "Wotan" that brought him the fame that has eluded many good opera singers, James Morris is as compelling in portraying the bass / baritone roles - usually villainous - in the operatic repertory. But to Morris fans he is not the next Hans Hotter but the first James Morris: bass, American master of the German repertory and virtuoso of the Italian opera, whose voice will enthrall us today and well into the next century. www.ffaire.com /wagner/morris.html   (675 words)

Third Defect -- Baritone Underwritten -- SavoyNet Iolanthe Discussion The principal bass and baritone roles in IDA are arguably just as "under-written" (if this is indeed a defect) as in IOLANTHE, and I don't recall your raising this objection when IDA hat its turn as OOTW. It is not intended to be an expression of fact, and I expect that there will be reasonable disagreements on this position) As a baritone, one factor in evaluating the overall value and quality of a show is the quality of the baritone and bass baritone roles.

Operapaedia - Reference Desk The 'Verdi baritone' is now considered its own voice type, and the singer must have an incredibly dynamic quality, a dark color, 'bite' or 'snarl' in order to carry through the orchestra and the ability to sing lyrically when called upon. The 'tessitura' or 'lie' of these roles is higher than what a bass can comfortably sing with occasional moments of probing into the bass register and the need for the darkness of color that the bass brings to a role. We have Verdi to thank for the 'discovery' and codification of the baritone voice-type, so excited was he about the particular color of this voice and its ability to portray many different dramatic qualities. www.operapaedia.org /Reference.aspx?id=operaticvoices&printable=true   (1677 words)
