| | Vocal music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A short piece of vocal music with lyrics is broadly termed a song. |  | | Vocal music is music performed by one or more singers, with or without instrumental accompaniment, in which singing provides the main focus of the piece. |  | | The interest in vocal music is typically carried by the use of lyrics, although there are some notable examples of vocal music that are performed (in part or completely) using non-linguistic syllables or noises, either in imitation of other sounds or in the abstract. |

| | Barbershop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Barbershop harmony, as codified during the barbershop revival era (1940s-present), is a style of unaccompanied vocal music characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note in a predominantly homophonic texture. |  | | Barbershop music features songs with understandable lyrics and easily singable melodies, whose tones clearly define a tonal center and imply major and minor chords and barbershop (dominant and secondary dominant) seventh chords that resolve primarily around the circle of fifths, while making frequent use of other resolutions. |  | | The presentation of barbershop music uses appropriate musical and visual methods to convey the theme of the song and provide the audience with an emotionally satisfying and entertaining experience. |

| | Post Road Chorus - Our Music |
 | | 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. |

| | DARLIN' MARLINS SING `BARBERSHOP' FOR BAYSIDE SHOW |
 | | Barbershop music is four-part, very close harmony and the songs are characterized by sentimental lyrics and sung a cappella, or without accompaniment, McWaters-Wilkes said. |  | | Barbershop music, originally sung by men, was popular from the 1860s to about the 1920s. |  | | A characteristic of barbershop music is the ``cone'' sound. |

| | 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. |

 | | Thus, a music educator who is happy with barbershop as an augmentation of the school music program will likely sing the praises of barbershop to his or her colleagues. |  | | If you hook a music educator, then you could hook all of the music educator’s students and have the music educator’s commitment to use barbershop in the school’s music program. |  | | Remember that in most cases, barbershop is not a mainstream part of the school’s vocal music education program. |

| | You Are Now A Barbershopper |
 | | Technically speaking, barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied singing with three voices harmonizing to the melody. |  | | Barbershop harmony was originally "ear music," created on the spot by men who got together and simply belted out songs for all they were worth, with little finesse or emphasis on good quality vocalizing. |  | | Barbershop is also noted for its extensive use of the musical embellishments that we call swipes and tags. |
