Description

The tenor tag identifies music featuring the highest male vocal range, characterized by bright, powerful, and emotionally expressive singing that often takes the heroic or romantic lead role. This voice type is central to opera, classical crossover, and traditional popular song, where its soaring quality conveys passion and drama. Tenor voices blend strength with lyrical beauty, making them ideal for showcasing virtuosic technique and deep emotional resonance.
