In a choral singing mode, subjects usually adjusted their voice levels to the levels they heard from the other singers, whereas in a solo singing mode the level sung depended much less on the level of an accompaniment.

Choir singing often uses straight tones (no vibrato) and little variation from the written sheet music. Otherwise it would be a mess. When singing solo you have more freedom. Vibrato becomes an important vocal effect and the singer can often embellish the written notes.

Choral music and solo vocal music differ in a number of ways, including: Composition: Choral music is written for choirs and typically has at least two vocal parts that create harmony. Solo vocal music can include monophonic music with a single line of melody, or polyphonic music with more than one melody. Vocal demands: Soloists often have more difficult vocal demands than choruses, including a greater range, higher tessitura, and larger sound. Choralists need to be able to sight-read complex music, match timbres with other voices, and listen for gradations of dynamics. Listening: In solo singing, the focus is on the feel of proper vocal production, rather than hearing oneself. Sound effect: Choral music is often favored for its unified and integrated sound effect. Voice levels: In choral singing, singers usually adjust their voice levels to match the other singers. In solo singing, the level sung depends less on the accompaniment. Goal: Solo music pursues individuality, while choral music pur sues unity. read less
