A bass-baritone is a singing voice that shares certain qualities of both the ), Wotan (in the Ring Cycle ) and Hans Sachs (in Die Meistersinger Von Nürnberg ). Wagner wrote those roles for what he called ''Hoher Bass'' ("high bass," this is explained in more detail at Fach ). The bass-baritone voice is distinguished by two attributes. First, it must be capable of singing comfortably in a baritonal Tessitura . It must also, however, have the resonant lower range typically associated with the bass. For example, the role of Wotan in Die Walküre covers the range from the F# above middle C to the F below the bass clef but only infrequently descends beyond the C below middle C.
