"Song and chorus"

Post by Eric »

Many of the works @ Library of Congress that I and others have reuploaded over the years were published as "song and chorus", and it confused me why sometimes the chorus was also a single-line voice part too; I figured "unison chorus", wrote that in, and carried on.

It never occurred to me (I'm slow about these things!) that "chorus" also means "refrain".

D'oh. / Whoops.

(Do I have to retag _all_ those uploads (not counting those that really _do_ have choruses, of course, for which chorus really _did_ mean _chorus_ - nothing beats actually reading a score...) I may have to... Not today...)
