What is Barbershop Harmony?

Discipline: Music
Royal City Ambassadors

    • Four-part, unaccompanied, close-harmony singing, with melody in the second voice, called the "lead."

    • Tenor (counter-tenor voice) harmonizes above the lead singer; bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone provides in-between notes, to form consonant, pleasing chords.

    • Music is in the style of "the old songs" from the heyday of Tin Pan Alley, circa 1890-1920.

    • Melodies in the vocal and skill range of the average singer, with lyrical emphasis on simple, heartfelt emotions: love, friendship, mother, moon & June & the girl next door.
