Editing Tenor (section)

== Other uses ==
There are four parts in [[Barbershop music|barbershop harmony]]: bass, baritone, lead, and tenor (lowest to highest), with "tenor" referring to the highest part. The tenor generally sings in falsetto voice, corresponding roughly to the [[countertenor]] in classical music, and harmonizes above the lead, who sings the melody. The barbershop tenor range is Middle C to A one octave above Middle C, though it is written an octave higher. The "lead" in barbershop music is equivalent to the normal tenor range.<ref name=Averill>{{cite book |title= Four Parts, No Waiting: A Social History of American Barbershop Harmony |last= Averill |first= Gage |year= 2003 | location = Oxford, ENG | publisher= Oxford University Press |isbn= 9780195116724}}</ref>{{page needed|date=April 2017}}

In [[bluegrass music]], the melody line is called the lead. Tenor is sung an interval of a third above the lead. Baritone is the fifth of the scale that has the lead as a tonic, and may be sung below the lead, or even above the lead (and the tenor), in which case it is called "high baritone".<ref name=Cantwell>{{cite book |title= Bluegrass Breakdown: The Making of the Old Southern Sound |last= Cantwell|first= Robert |year= 2002|location = Urbana, IL | publisher= University of Illinois Press|isbn= 9780252071171 }}</ref>{{page needed|date=April 2017}}
