church choirs

Sunday hymn groups

Church choirs are groups of singers who perform during religious services, typically positioned near the altar or in a dedicated gallery.

They lead congregational hymns and perform more complex sacred music—anthems, motets, cantatas.

The term covers everything from volunteer groups in small parishes to professional ensembles in cathedrals: She's sung in the church choir since childhood.
