I would have thought that in most cases the soloist's discretion would be sufficient, with consideration of how soon their next solo passage is etc. If there is some particular reason to suppress the soloist then you may have to resort to a specific instruction such as tutti (solo tacet). In a Call and Response situation, solo and gli altri seems to me to be very clear.

Really? So how do you differentiate passages that are to be sung by _all_ (including the soloist)?

In orchestral work, "gli altri" or "the rest" = "everyone but the soloist," which is not the same as "tutti." My client doesn't seem to think "the rest" is clear enough, but I still need a good way of distinguishing "everybody but the soloist" from "everyone including the soloist."

A question:

What is the standard indication, in works for SATB chorus, that a passage is to be sung by everyone except the soloist (when, e.g., the soprano soloist shares a staff with the rest of the sopranos)?
