mixed chorus

Voices, all ranges

A mixed chorus is a choral group comprising both male and female voices, typically including soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts.

The term distinguishes such ensembles from all-male or all-female choruses: The piece was arranged for mixed chorus and orchestra.

Most community and church choirs are mixed choruses.
