Hi Tony. Sorry, but "HI" is short for "Harmony Incorporated" and "SAI" for "Sweet Adelines International." We are women.

My wife and another couple have decided to form a mixed quartet, but
don't really know how to get started. Does anyone know of any good
online resources that would help us out? Lingering questions...who
sings which parts? Is is just traditional SATB? Is there barbershop
style music specific for mixed QT? Can we use standard barbershop
arrangements? If so, who sings which part? Does it matter? Are
there learning tracks available for mixed QT? Any help or advice would
be appreciated.

I got to know a mixed quartet at Harmony University this summer, also two couples. One husband sang lead, the other bass, one wife sang tenor the other bari.
They sang a couple traditional barbershop charts; but, the bulk of their rep was doo-wop and novelty charts which seemed to work well for the voicing. I asked them what their rep search was like and they said experimentation was the biggest thing. So, be adventurous with it.
Tim Warwick will make learning tracks for any voicing all the way up to SSAATTBB. As far as existing tracs for the voicing, I can't be sure.

I'm not experienced with mixed quartetting but you might want to check out:
mixedbarbershop.com
The organization appears to be small and informal (and compatible with the major organizations - one of their founders, Jerry Orloff, is a champion recruiter for SPEBSQSA), but they probably can give you informed answers and help plug you into the mixed barbershop community.
You may want to approach John and Maureen Coffin and the Jamison's in the RMD. They have done many arrangements.

Don't ya think if the society could expand their scope to support the mixed bshopping more it could help the membership woes as well? They have contests for youth choirs now and college quartets, why no expand to the mixed genre. Could even help some of the small choruses who are struggling for members.
What do you think?
Bruce Richardson
Considering starting a mixed group and or inviting wives to learn one or two numbers for next year's show.
The Santa Cruz, CA chorus (not the chapter), www. scbarbershop . org/,
is already set up that way. Women are considered "auxiliary singers" and
are not members of the chapter or BHS. They are singing the men's
arrangements in the men's keys, but filling in where parts are scarce.
There may be others who are doing that, but Santa Cruz I know is.

No disrespect to anyone’s wife, but
I go to rehearsal on Tuesday to get away from my family for a few hours and
spend it in the company of men, where I can let my (thinning) hair down, so to
speak. Inviting the wives would drive me right out of here.

BHS is a male group. Maybe the same consideration should be presented to the SAI.
I love the ladies, but maybe this should also could be suggested to the HI. We are all
looking for more members so is there hopefully a viable solution?.

In the same vein, SAI and HI are organizations formed specifically for women. If the men don't want mixed barbershop in their group, why would you think the women would?!
I truly do like the idea of mixed barbershop -- and would love to be a part of a mixed barbershop quartet -- in addition to but not in place of my women's chorus. So, maybe there's a way to promote the mixed barbershop without taking away from the exclusively men's and women's groups.

I have to say that I too like to have my night out. That being said, I
realize that there are chapters in small towns where you need help in
filling in the parts. I was hired several years ago, and several towns
ago, to direct a chorus for a chapter in a small town. Through many
circumstances, the chapter had dwindled to five or six guys when I
started. Not one of those was a tenor, or capable of singing tenor.
Thank heavens for my wife. Even though she doesn't like Barbershop (I
don't like her bagpipes for the same reasons), she admirably filled in
at tenor until we recruited a tenor. I can happily say that the chapter
flourished and is now, still in that small town, somewhere between 45
and fifty members, has started another chapter some 50 miles away, and
has spawned a quartet champion. However, had it not been for someone of
another gender stepping up to the plate to complete the four-part
harmony needed for Barbershop, the chapter would most likely have died
right then and there.
Although I would rather sing with all guys, if I were in a situation
where the choice was having a mixed chorus singing Barbershop, or no
chorus, I would take the mixed every time. Then we could build from
there. And I'm not saying we should have female members of the Society.
However, in many of those small towns throughout America, there is
neither men's or women's Barbershop. It's a start to get them both
interested. JMHO.

Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with mixed barbershop. There
are times when I have stepped up and rung a tag with as many as 3 ladies, so
that isn't the problem. But the note I responded to put forth the idea that
we could "solve" some of our recruitment problems by starting to invite
women into our groups. I am all for the Society "partnering" with a mixed
BBS society, if there is one, in the same way we "partner" with SAI and HI.
Maybe you are right, and in some small towns, a mixed BBS society would be a
better vehicle for introducing the art form. But I also believe that the
uniqueness of 4 male voices singing together in harmony, ringing those
chords, can't be topped by any other vocal music.

It seems to me that the weakness in forming a Bshop quartet is
generally finding a quality Tenor.

It probably depends on the area. Right now, we are awash in tenors in
our chorus but low on basses and leads. But, it's September so we've
got our ads ramped up right now. I would guess that for women, it's
usually hard to find basses. Smaller choruses would have a harder time
with that as with any other part. The IDEAL woman bass should hit a
low C below middle C, but often you don't want to go too much below E
flat really, depending on your section. Our chorus regularly chooses
songs that go to D flat since we've got the basses who can handle it.
I have sung tenor in a quartet with 3 men.....we called ourselves 3
Guys and a Girl.....really original, I know. :-) I actually found it
a bit challenging because we sang men's arrangements and I basically
was trying to sing a tenor part, which should be light and floating on
top mostly below my vocal break.

Tenors seem to be hardest to find in both the mens and women's area.
One would think that a lady bass would be scare, but tenors are always a
premium when forming a quartet.

Tenors seem to be hardest to find in both the
mens and women's area.
One would think that a lady bass would be scare, but tenors are always a
premium when forming a quartet.

It seems to me that the weakness in forming a Bshop quartet is generally
finding a quality Tenor.
A question for lady quarteters: I am curious, is there a part in a
ladies quartet that is difficult to cast?
Frankly, I just want to make good music and perform. I would be happy
to harmonize with a martian if I could find one with similar goals,
similar level of commitment, and who could help me ring chords!
Harmoniously,

In the same vein, SAI and HI are organizations formed specifically for
women. If the men don't want mixed barbershop in their group, why would
you think the women would?!
I truly do like the idea of mixed barbershop -- and would love to be a
part of a mixed barbershop quartet -- in addition to but not in place of
my women's chorus. So, maybe there's a way to promote the mixed
barbershop without taking away from the exclusively men's and women's
groups.
BHS is a male group. Maybe the same consideration should be presented
to the SAI.
I love the ladies, but maybe this should also could be suggested to the
HI. We are all
looking for more members so is there hopefully a viable solution?.

A few years ago I was in a mixed quartet in Montana. We sang mostly gospel, but played around with other stuff. Most of our music came from "Good News."
The women sang Tenor and Bari and us guys sang the other two parts. The gal that sang Bari was a Bass in the Wild Rose Harmonizers Chorus.
The voicing worked well, for us and was a lot of fun.
Good luck.

As one third of a trio looking for a fourth, we think that quartet quality leads
are scarce.
Being a strong chorus lead is not the same as 'leading' a quartet....
