Choral music, in turn, is the music written specifically for such an ensemble to perform. <\/span><\/strong>A body of singers who perform together is called a choir or chorus. The former term is very often applied to groups affiliated with a church (whether or not they actually occupy the <\/span><\/strong>choir<\/span><\/strong>) and the second to groups that perform in theatres or concert halls, but this distinction is far from rigid. The term „Choir“ has the secondary definition of a subset of an ensemble; thus one speaks of the „woodwind choir“ of an orchestra, or different „choirs“ of voices and\/or instruments in a <\/span><\/strong>polychoral<\/span><\/strong> composition. In typical 18th to 21st century <\/span><\/strong>oratorios<\/span><\/strong> and <\/span><\/strong>masses<\/span><\/strong>, 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.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n In Worship Services – <\/span>Eastern Orthodox churches, some American Protestant groups, and some synagogues do not use instruments. In churches of the Western Rite the accompanying instrument is usually the organ, although in colonial America, the Moravian Church used groups of strings and winds. Many churches which use a contemporary worship format use a small amplified band to accompany the singing, and Roman Catholic Churches may use, at their discretion, additional orchestral accompaniment. Liturgical Function – <\/span>In addition to leading of singing in which the congregation participates, such as hymns and service music, some church choirs still sing full liturgies, including propers (introit, gradual, communion antiphons appropriate for the different times of the liturgical year). Chief among these are the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches; far more common however is the performance of anthems or motets at designated times in the service.
