baritones
Between tenors, basses
Baritones are male singing voices between tenor and bass, or the singers who possess them.
The baritone range suits many leading operatic roles and dominates popular music—most male pop and rock singers are baritones.
The term extends to instruments in the same range: a baritone saxophone, a baritone horn.
The chorus needs more baritones.
