tenor
Overall sense conveyed
Tenor has two distinct meanings unified by the idea of a sustained course.
The first is the general drift or character of something: the tenor of the conversation, the whole tenor of her life.
The second is the highest natural adult male singing voice, above baritone, or a singer with that range.
A tenor saxophone or other instrument occupies a similar middle-high range.
