Origin:
The term "baritone" originated in ancient Greece, where it was used to describe a bass guitar with a low range and a heavy sound. Over time, the term came to be used in music to describe the lowest-pitched male voice that could sing above the bass.
In the 17th century, the term was used in France and Italy to describe a low-pitched male voice that was higher than the bass but lower than the tenor. By the 18th century, the term had become widely used in Europe to describe a male voice that was characterized by its richness and warmth.
Today, the term "baritone" is used to describe a male voice that typically has a range from A2 to F4. Baritones are often used in opera, choral music, and musical theater.
