Why don’t baritones sing tenor and bass in choral music?
The answer is that choral music doesn’t use the terms ‘tenor’ and ‘bass’ the same way that vocal soloists do. In choral music, ‘bass’ just means the lower male part, and ‘tenor’ means the higher one. Since most baritones don’t have vocal ranges high enough to sing tenor parts, they generally sing bass in choirs.
