SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)

SATB stands for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass, which are the four main voice parts in choral music. Soprano is the highest voice, typically sung by women or boys, covering the melody or upper harmonies. Alto is a lower female voice that complements the soprano. Tenor is a higher male voice that bridges the gap between the alto and bass. Bass is the lowest male voice, providing depth and foundation to the harmony. Together, these parts create a balanced, full sound, with each contributing to the overall harmony and richness of the choral or ensemble performance.
