What is a choral score in music?
Piano-Vocal Score/Vocal Score: Scores of large works (e.g., oratorios, operas, etc.) originally composed for voice and/or chorus and instrumental ensemble which have the instrumental parts reduced for keyboard accompaniment. Such scores are often used for teaching purposes, rehearsals, and auditions.
What is a choral performance?
If there is more than one voice to each part—i.e., to each line of polyphony (music of several voice parts) or strand of melody—the performance is choral, even though the actual sonority may not seem choral in the accepted sense until there are more than five or six voices to a part.
