WHAT IS A BARBERSHOP QUARTET?

Originating somewhere between the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States of America, the barbershop quartet is usually made up of a group of four singers. They sing music in the Barbershop style which is characterized by a four-part harmony without instrumental accompaniment. This is also known as acapella. The arrangement combines a lead, a bass, a tenor and a baritone. Each voice provides a different element of the song which culminates to create a harmony. Barbershop music is typified by the use of Close Harmony — all voices generally remain within one octave of each other. Famous examples of Barbershop Quartets include Haydn Quartet, the Musical Island Boys, and the Peerless Quartet.
