Everything about Barbershop Quartet totally explained
A
barbershop quartet is an
ensemble of four people who
sing a cappella in the exacting
barbershop music genre.
While the form is accessible to nearly anyone who can carry their part, the best quartets are formed of singers with a very uniform sound, particularly for vowels. With few exceptions, quartets are all-male or all-female in order to better match voices. Often siblings are naturally well-matched, as they grow up using the same accent. In other cases, disciplined practice over time yields consistent use of the same vowels.
In
North America most male barbershop quartet singers belong to the
Barbershop Harmony Society, while most female barbershop quartet singers are in either
Sweet Adelines International or
Harmony, Inc. Similar organizations have sprung up in many other countries (see
barbershop music).
Most barbershop quartet singers also choose to sing in a
barbershop chorus.
