Manawatū Overtones
The Manawatu Overtones is a Women’s Chorus who sing a cappella, four-part harmony in the barbershop style. Our chorus was first formed in 2004 and currently has approximately 35 members. We are an auditioned chorus and members, although not required to read music, must be able to sing holding their part (whether it be Lead, Baritone, Tenor or Bass) while other parts may be singing around them.
Leads sing the melody, Baritones provide the fill-in notes and round out the harmony, Tenors have a light, sweet, pure tone to their voice and sing the highest part while basses have the lowest voices and provide the foundation for the harmony.
