The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Each of the four parts has its own role: generally, the lead sings the melody, the tenor harmonizes above the melody, the bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone completes the chord, usually below the lead.
- Short segments of bass or tenor melody, for variety or to feature particular singers, are not uncommon, but the bulk of the melody must be in an "inner voice".
- In addition, parts other than lead may take the melody in passing tones to avoid awkward voice leading, in tags or codas, or when some appropriate embellishment can be created.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Barbershop music article was read about 49,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
