Barman’s Yelp Reported

We were on holiday so could not get the answer and it’s bugging me - 50-50 crossword
We had b - - h but think we must have gone wrong as cannot think of a word that works.

Bach was a 'barman' in that the wrote bars of music, 'bark' is a synonym for 'yelp' and 'reported' means a homonym.
