A tenor is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is one of the highest of the male voice types. The tenor's vocal range (in choral music) lies between C₃, the C one octave below middle C, and A₄, the A above middle C. In solo work, this range extends up to C₅, or "tenor high C". The low extreme for tenors is roughly A₂ (two As below middle C). At the highest extreme, some tenors can sing up to two Fs above middle C (F₅). The tenor voice type is generally divided into the leggero tenor, lyric tenor, spinto tenor, dramatic tenor, heldentenor, and tenor buffo or spieltenor.
