We Sing Women’s A Cappella Four-Part Barbershop Harmony

What part would you sing?

The TENOR’s range is similar to a first soprano. Her part is almost always above the melody. She sings with lightness and bell-like clarity and with no vibrato.

The LEAD sings the melody, in about the same range as an alto. The melody in women’s barbershop music is pitched a little lower than that of regular choral music. A lead must sing with musical authority, moving smoothly through her range.

The BARITONE sings a harmony part which is in the same voice range as the lead. Her voice must be flexible, singing with strength and fullness when her notes are below the melody and with a lighter quality when her notes are above the leads.

The BASS is the lowest voice in the chord. Her range is similar to that of a second alto or contralto. She sings with authority, fullness and strength. Her part is the foundation for the barbershop sound.
