Baritenor

/ˌbæɹɪˈtɛnɔɹ/ noun

Definition

A male singing voice that falls between baritone and tenor, combining characteristics of both ranges.

Etymology

Compound word from 'baritone' and 'tenor', English formation to describe an intermediate vocal range that blends properties of the two classical voice types.

Kelly Says

Vocal ranges aren't rigid boxes—singers like many famous baritones can bridge into tenor territory, which is why choral directors sometimes need a word that says 'it's both'.
