unisons

Voices singing together

Unisons is the plural of unison, though unison rarely needs pluralizing since it typically describes a state rather than a countable thing.

It appears occasionally in music when distinguishing multiple instances of voices or instruments sounding the same pitch: The score calls for unisons between the violins and violas.

More often, the word appears in the phrase in unison, meaning simultaneously or in agreement.
