I concede this is often, perhaps even usually, the case, but not
always. In any case, Darcy's question was about terminology; Walton and
OUP used "Solo" and "Tutti" and the fact that there are places where the
soloist sings at the same time as the other members of the section
suggest that "Tutti" mcan mean either "the other", or "all". I might
note too, that I've seen similar passages form other composers and other
publishers serving the same tradition who use "Verse" in place of solo,
and :"Full" in place of "Tutti."
Since I don't have enough information about the intended audience of the
composition Darcy is engraging to know whether the solo part is such
that the soloist could or would join the choir, I elected simply to
report what OUP did in a similar situation.
