| | Musical genre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Traditional pop music overlaps a number of these categories: big band music and musical comedy, for example, are closely allied to traditional pop. | | | Melodic music is a term that covers various genres of non-classical music which are primarily characterised by the dominance of a single strong melody line. | | | Jazz is a musical form that grew out of a cross-fertilization of folk blues, ragtime, and European music, particularly band music. |

| | Barbershop |
| | Barbershop singing is the style of vocal music, unaccompanied by musical instruments, which is always characterized by three parts harmonizing to a melody, usually sung by the LEAD. | | | The 4-part harmony style of barbershop music is uniquely American and was first discovered by men in barbershops getting together to sing old fashioned songs that were fun to harmonize with. | | | Technically speaking, the vocal music of barbershop arrangements is characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note, featuring major and minor chords and barbershop (dominant-type) seventh chords resolving primarily on the circle of fifths. |

| | Hilltop Harmony - Barbershop Style |
| | Throughout formal music training a concerted effort is made to adhere to rhythmic values as notated by the composer or arranger. | | | Whether it is a rousing march or a tender ballad, the music is performed "as written" in both vocal and instrumental music. | | | Although no one can say exactly when or where barbershop music began, the growth of the tradition was certainly aided between the 1860s and 1920s by the types of songs popular at the time - songs characterized by sentimental lyrics and uncomplicated melodies that could be harmonized with a variety of four-part chords. |

| | INTRODUCTION |
| | The new music lacked the sentimentality and simplicity of the barbershop era, and it was more difficult to harmonize. | | | The golden age of barbershop music was approximately 1900-1930. | | | The jazz style also derived from the musical tradition of southern black slaves and is also based in the tradition of improvisation. |

| | What Is Barbershop? |
| | Barbershop music is sung unaccompanied by musical instruments, which allows each voice section to tune to the others so that the blend produced sounds like one voice. | | | Modern vocal music has unbalanced parts with the melody part emphasized. | | | Melodies from the turn of the century will always be the hallmark of barbershop music. |

| | Barbershop harmony is a musical style which is easily distinguished by most listeners. | | | As a result, barbershop music tends to use simple, easily sung melodies, although there are also many modern songs in our repertoire. | | | First, all our music is performed a capella, or unaccompanied. |

| | Tenor |
| | In music, a tenor is a male singer with a high voice (although not as high as a countertenor). | | | In medieval music, the tenor voice was always assigned the cantus firmus, the main melody. | | | In the Barbershop harmony musical style, the name "tenor" is used for the highest part. |

| | Coastmen Barbershop Chorus |
| | Perhaps the most common rhythmic propellant in barbershop music is the "echo." The echo is closely related to call-and-response pattern and usually occurs at the end of a musical phrase while the melody is holding a note. | | | The influence of the African-American musical tradition to this basic barbershop idiom is unmistakable and argues forcefully in favor of the "African-American Origin" theory. | | | The barbershop musical lexicon abounds with examples of African-American-based call-and-response technique. |

| | What is Barbershop? Answers from Brian Beck and Joe Liles |
| | Barbershop music is probably the only style of music that takes advantage of all these principles. | | | Most songs sung in this style were written from 1900 - 1940, but any song with similar musical characteristics (the Beatles' "Something," and "Michelle," and similar songs) are suitable. | | | The two Chinese folk songs, which I have arranged into barbershop harmonies, were easy to arrange in the barbershop style because they have an easily singable melody. |

| | Technically speaking, barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied singing with three voices harmonizing to the melody. | | | To become a sheet music hit, songs had to be easily singable by average singers, with average vocal ranges and average control. | | | The first written use of the word "barbershop" when referring to harmonizing came in 1910, with the publication of the song, "Play That Barbershop Chord"—evidence that the term was in common parlance by that time. |

| | David Wright -Barbershop Harmony |
| | This style of singing arose in the mid-19th century as an improvisational acappella music at the barbershops, parlors, and curbstones of America and developed into a major pastime and a mode of professional entertainment by the turn of the century. | | | A large part of the allure of this music is the ecstacy experinced by the singer upon hearing his/her voice in a locked chord. | | | Barbershop harmony originated as "ear harmony", and thus the singers tune to each other rather than to a musical instrument or absolute standard. |

| | INTRODUCTORY REMARKS |
| | The barbershop style as currently defined and practiced is uniquely distinguished amongst vocal styles and has achieved a place of respect and admiration in the world of vocal music. | | | The tight sixth was extracted by barbershoppers from the blues/jazz music of the 1940s, but it represents only one of many influences from jazz and blues, both rhythmic and harmonic, that barbershop music assimilated quite naturally in the years 1900 - 1950. | | | However it is clearly barbershop in that it stays within the barbershop chord vocabulary, features solid voicings, places the melody in the second tenor, and fills the gaps in the melody with creative echoes in barbershop fashion. |

| | What is |
| | The combination of the four voice parts in tune with good vocal quality produces pleasant overtones and undertones described as ringing or buzzing which are the hallmarks of barbershop music. | | | Good hearing and good vocal quality are helpful and the ability to carry a tune is essential, as this is an "a capella" style (no instrumental accompaniment) and chords are tuned by ear. | | | The tenor harmonizes above the lead singer, and the baritone fills in the remaining notes. |
