Usage Note
Tenore primarily denotes the tenor voice in classical music, but in formal writing it also means the tenor or substance of a document or speech (il tenore della lettera — the purport of the letter). The plural is tenori. Do not confuse with tono (tone/pitch), which is a different word entirely.
Examples
"Il tenore ha ricevuto una lunga standing ovation."
Natural Translation
The tenor received a long standing ovation.
