A chorus, or choir, is a body of
singers who perform together as an ensemble. The former term is very often
applied to groups affiliated with a church (whether or not they actually
occupy the choir) and the second to groups that perform in theatres or
concert halls, but this distinction is far from rigid. The various
voice types that make up a chorus consist of sopranos, mezzo-sopranos,
altos, tenors, baritones, and basses. In typical 18th to 20 century
oratorios and masses, chorus or choir is usually understood to imply more
than one singer per part, in contrast to the quartet of soloists also
featured in these works.
