Except that, to me, a choir exists on its own. You could go to a
concert and the sole performer is the "choir".
A chorus seems to imply, to me, singers which support soloists.
You wouldn't go to a concert where the sole performer is a "chorus"
Well, maybe <I> wouldn't, but there were a lot of people at a concert
of the Island City Chorus last spring (a barbershop group.)
Can we just agree that while each of the two terms seems to be more
popular in certain contexts, there is a fair bit of overlap, both in
meaning and usage?
