Relating to or written for a choir or chorus; involving group singing with multiple voice parts.
From Latin choralis, from Greek khoros meaning 'dance, choir.' The word evolved from ancient Greek dramatic performances where the chorus both sang and danced, later focusing primarily on vocal music.
Choral music uniquely demonstrates human cooperation - when voices blend perfectly, the acoustic phenomenon of 'overtones' creates additional notes that aren't being sung by anyone, making the choir literally more than the sum of its parts.
