A Quote by Colin Meloy

I wish I had a better range, but I really have a super-limited one. Barely a tenor, dips into baritone - that's about it.

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

Placido Domingo

I'm a natural baritone, so I had challenges in that middle range, which would be that tenor area, singing in my natural voice. And I worked on that. But basically the falsetto thing, I didn't even know it was a falsetto until a music teacher commented on it, that I had a very nice falsetto. I didn't even know what it was. I said, 'Oh, OK.'

Philip Bailey

Opera is when a tenor and soprano want to make love, but are prevented from doing so by a baritone.

George Bernard Shaw

Well, you know, the first step I took was to drop the alto and baritone and concentrate on tenor exclusively, a decision I've never really looked back on with any regret. Another thing was that I was 17 when I moved up there, and my listening had really focused on freer music in the previous couple of years- Coltrane was playing with his expanded group, and everyone was listening closely to that, and we were into Shepp and Ayler as well.

David S. Ware

I don't have that kind of voice, the big baritone or rousing tenor sound. My wheelhouse was in the frothier pieces. So my appreciation for those older musicals and revivals grew.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson

The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It's got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity.

Steve Lacy

Some people say there was no jazz tenor before me. All I know is I just had a way of playing and I didn't think in terms of any other instrument but the tenor

We all wish we had super powers. We all wish we could do more than we can do.
