What is a barber quartet?

Barbershop Quartet is a music quartet that performs barbershop. This form of music dates back to the 16th century and has evolved as you might think, from occasional gatherings of friends for barberry and other public places. In the United States, the barbership has long been associated with the black community; Holizovní artists often appeared on the perimeter of Vaudeville, at least until the birth of the radio made such live performances more rare.

Barbershop Music is a type of music that is characterized by the fact that it has a four -part harmony, which is usually led by a second tenor, accompanied by baritone, bass and first tenor. Holiz's music tends to be very clear in tone, with a standard meter and a very balanced harmonious form; In Layman's term, it sounds nice, albeit a little old -fashioned for some ears. Complicated harmonies in the music of barbershop require performances of qualified singers and these four parts are well suited to Four Singers, so the barber quartet is so common. ClassyCky have decorated the barber quartets as exaggerated dandies, with neat corresponding suits, straw hats and bold ties. They tend to dress in the coordination of clothing, while members of the quartet of barberry often dress ridiculous mustaches in honor of the history of this musical form. The barber quartets are also open to women, and some groups of all women are called "cosmetic quartets" like digging a tongue in the traditional quartet of the barber.

One of the most prominent features of the barbership is a ringing chord. The ringing chord is a unique voice effect created when four voices perfectly harmonize with each other and overlap in such a way that the illusion of the fifth singer is created. The ringing chord may sound quite ethereal and is very recognizable; Most of the barbership group work hard to achieve it and are rightly proud to be achieved.

The barber quartet was in the 19th and the beginning20th century extremely common and some quartets were quite famous. With the advent of the radio, however, the demand for a live performance began to disappear and many quartets were out of work. At the end of the 30th year, people began to worry that this unique musical form would be lost forever, and started the revival of the barbership to support the preservation and presentation of the barbership. Members of the barbers' quartet often belong to the revival association to connect with other musicians with similar interests.
