I don’t know what a transposed score for voices would be, unless they are 
talking about the Tenor part written an octave higher than sounding, but I will 
say that you do not need to Do a piano reduction for choir, really anytime in a 
larger ensemble. Just give them some cues To help them get their pitch, and you 
are good to go!
