Baritenor (also rendered in English-language sources as bari-tenor[1] or baritenore[2]) is a portmanteau (blend) of the words "baritone" and "tenor".[3] It is used to describe both baritone and tenor voices. In Webster's Third New International Dictionary it is defined as "a baritone singing voice with virtually a tenor range".[4] However, the term was defined in several late 19th century and early 20th century music dictionaries, such as The American History and Encyclopedia of Music, as "a low tenor voice, almost baritone [sic]."[5]
