choral arrangement
Harmonized singing version
A choral arrangement is a piece of music adapted or composed for a choir to sing.
The term usually implies that existing material—a folk song, pop hit, or instrumental work—has been reworked for vocal ensemble: The choir performed a choral arrangement of "Hallelujah".
Arrangements specify how parts divide among soprano, alto, tenor, and bass voices, and may add harmonies not in the original.
