Chorus often has a conductor, with or without accompaniment. It requires a high degree of unity of the sound of a single part and the harmony of the melody between the parts. It is one of the most popular and widely participated forms of music performance.
As an expression tool of choral art, the human voice has its unique advantages. It can express the thoughts and emotions in musical works most directly and stimulate the audience's emotional screams. The number of voices is not specified, but there are generally four voices. Mostly in the tenor area, baritone area, soprano area, and female alto area.

1. Broad vocal range. The vocal range of a chorus is the sum of the vocal ranges of all participants, ranging from the lowest bass part of the bass to the highest pitch of the soprano part, which can reach three and a half to four octaves.
2. Rich timbre. The chorus can include all dramatic and lyrical types in the high, middle and low voices of men and women, as well as the different timbres of each person, and the different combinations of various timbres.
3. The intensity changes greatly. From the weakest ppp to the strongest fff, this is the range of intensity changes that the chorus can handle, and no individual can match it.
4. There are many levels of sound. Since chorus is multi-part music, different chords, different chord inversions, different part combinations, different intensity levels, different timbre changes, etc. will produce different sound effects and levels.
5. Strong expressiveness. Chorus can express various types of works, whether they are main-key music or polyphonic music, any historical period, any mood, and any style of work, they can all be perfectly expressed through chorus.
