Until the late 15th century introduction of the contratenor bassus, the tenor was usually the lowest voice, assuming the role of providing a harmonic foundation.
A tenor is ultimately classified by several vocal traits, including range, tone quality, vocal lift points, and transition points ("passaggio") within the singer's range.
Because the higher tenor range is quite unusual in adult males, and many composers label a part in the lower Alto range as "Tenor," the majority of men tend to prefer singing bass or baritone.

 Tenor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, a tenor is a male singer with a high voice (although not as high as the modern countertenor).
Generally, the tenor roles are parallel to the soprano roles, in that they are usually the most sympathetic male roles; they play the hero, the lover, etc but there are the occasional villains (the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto; Lt. Pinkerton and Goro in Madame Butterfly).
It was also in the 15th century that "tenor" came to signify the male voice that sang such parts; later it was applied not only to singers, but also instrumental parts occupying approximately the same register, such as the Tenor violin.

 Clef - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
There are two common clefs that use the C clef symbol: The alto clef, which assigns C to the middle line of the staff, and the tenor clef, which assigns C to the second line from the top of the staff.
The C clef on the bottom line means soprano clef which works for violin and the clarinet in A. The 1st line C clef used also to be commonly employed until about 100 years ago for the soprano voice when vocal polyphony was displayed with each voice on its own staff.
The tenor clef uses the C clef to assign the note middle C to the second line from the top of the staff.

 Clef   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The chief melody was given to the tenor, the second part to the alto (discantus, or contralto), and where a third part (triplum) was added, it was assigned to the highest voice, the soprano or treble.
The alto clef is used by violas, tenor viola da gambas, and occasionally by trombones.
In this case the soprano and alto voices occupy the upper staff, with the treble clef, and the tenor and bass voices occupy the lower staff, with the bass clef.

Disambiguation is apt: at a time when "ecstatic jazz" has become a marketing label for empty bluster, this quartet's concentration on precise quarter-tones produces a new, if sombre, light.
Disambiguation is far too complex and far too worthy a disk to confine to one interpretation.
While Maneri steals the show in “Disambiguation” as he covers the viola's range with remarkably rapid passagework, Malaby's technical wizardry on the tenor saxophone is nothing short of amazing as he jumps from guttural high notes to rich, soulful low ones.

 Banjo - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Some etymologists derive it from a dialectal pronunciation of "bandore", though recent research suggests that it may come from a Senegambian term for the bamboo stick used for the instrument's neck.
A further development is the tenor banjo, which also has four strings and is typically played with a plectrum too.
It has a shorter neck of 19 frets is usually tuned CGDA, like a viola, or GDAE, like a violin (but an octave lower), and has become quite a standard instrument for Irish traditional music where is mainly used in its shorter 17 frets variant.

Introduction of the unanticipated is one of the ways in which Karayorgis asserts himself on this disc.
Should Vandermark be biting the reed or overblowing on a tune like the pianist's own "Disambiguation," he answers with repeated speedy runs or sharp keyboard slurs.
On these tracks, Karayorgis's study of Tristano's music is most readily apparent in his rhythm, which is effortlessly smooth despite choppy accents and dense voicings; and, like Tristano, he uses rhythm to stir his cohorts.

In medieval music, the tenor voice was usually assigned what was called in the Renaissance the cantus firmus, or the primary melody, which in the Western medieval music was the lowest voice.
Therefore, tenor drums have, in the recent course of the marching percussion world's progression, proven to be a favorite among drummers and virtually indispensable to any drumline that has sought to play percussion pieces, cadences, and performance parts with percussive style and groove.
In Medieval music, the tenor was the foundation or sustaining part or a polyphonic composition, and in the late Medieval era and early Renaissance, the tenor generally was the melody part.

Palmetto Records has struck up a useful alliance with the musicians associated with New York's Jazz Composers Collective, notably drummer Matt Wilson, in recent years one of the most ubiquitous sidemen in jazz as well as a leader in his own right.
The result is handsome if somewhat pasteurized hard bop, typified by the complementary, cultured reworkings of blues harmonies that open the album, "The Shooting Star" and "Jump Start"; Nash plays genial host by yielding the leadoff solo spot to Marsalis on the first track, Printup on the second.
Marty Ehrlich is, as always, beseechingly eloquent on tenor; Curtis Fowlkes acquits himself well, though he's no Ray Anderson (trombonist on the band's previous disc Just Add Water); but the album's sound is largely dictated by Wayne Horvitz's prowling keyboards and the combined rumble of Steve Swallow's bass guitar and the leader's oversized drums.
