A deep-pitched male singing voice that falls between bass and tenor, or a singer with this type of voice.
From Italian 'baritono,' from Greek 'barys' (heavy, deep) and 'tonos' (tone). The term emerged in the 17th century when voice classifications became standardized in opera.
Baritones are often described as the 'Goldilocks' voice—they can sing both high and low songs, which is why many famous rock and pop singers (like Bruno Mars and Billy Joel) are baritones, not tenors!
