   • 1871, “Analogies of Music and Painting”, in The Rectangular Review: A Quarterly Communication on Philosophy, Freemasonry, Archæology, Science, and the Fine Arts, volume I, number II, London, page 242:

     Of their music we have equally amazing records, as it was heard in the dramatic chori and the compositions of their old Troubadours and Improvisatori—the Lyric Poets;

   • [a. 1881, William B[allantyne] Hodgson, “Noun”, in Errors in the Use of English, Edinburgh: David Douglas, published 1881, part II (Accidence), page 70:

     Other foreign terms have become so thoroughly Anglicised as to adopt English plurals, and it is sometimes difficult to decide whether the English or the original foreign form is the more correct. None but a pedant would speak of ‘the chori of an opera,’ ‘the croci in a garden,’ or ‘the dogmata of the church;’ […]]

     The solo follows the chorus' pattern. It's practically the same thing, more of a semi-bridge than a solo. Apply these progressions to all chori and verses and that should do it.

   • 1994 January 21, Michael Bahr, “The Fountain of Lamneth”, in alt.music.rush (Usenet), message-ID :

     Panacea, with Alex's softest strumming outside of Rivendell and Geddy's first of many nervous recordings singing about love (and he's still at it, listen to Nobody's Hero) is really nice sounding but it almost sounds as if Rush dosen't MEAN IT... until the bridge sections before the chori "Yet I know... I MUST be gone... beFORE the light... of dawn!" and "My heart... will lie... beside you, and my wandering.. body grieves" are much better done than the rest of it. This is a song that needs JUST a little bit more conviction to make it work.

   • 1994 July 28, Doug Ferrell, “Re: Boss CE-5 and other Chorus Pedals around $100-$250”, in rec.music.makers.guitar (Usenet), message-ID <31979m$h2n@news.parc.xerox.com>:

     I have several chori and have tried many different brands/models in my search for the "ultimate tone."

   • 1994 August 25, Skip Gundlach, “Barbershop Digest”, in rec.music.a-cappella (Usenet), message-ID <33j4s3$jau@hobbes.cc.uga.edu>:

     Our District (Evergreen) has established the number ofquartets and chori that will qualify (read _compete_) at the district level, largely because those district contests take up so much time at the district Convention. […] I have another question--what's with a division contest in late August? Being from Evergreen, where we have division contests in April (sometimes May) that allow both quartets and chori to qualify for the October District contest, which allows us to selelct a chorus to go to International, I wonder what's happening?

   • 1995 April 18, Charles Ehrlich, “Re: Reccomend Choral like Beet. 9th Symphony 4th mvt.”, in rec.music.classical.recordings (Usenet), message-ID <1995Apr18.005433.25219@inca.comlab.ox.ac.uk>:

     Try some composers influenced by Beethoven. Examples: / Liszt: / Faust Symphony / Mahler: Symphony #2 / or even something without a chorus. Bruckner would be good, not just because he saw himself as continuing the symphonic tradition of Beethoven, but also because, though he did not make use of chori in his symphonies, he did come from a background as a church organist and wrote grand chorales into his symphonic music, usually in the brass.

     The verses are instrumental, the chori are more "soulful," the "gotta keep..." section is REALLY rocked up, and the rest of the song is instrumental.

   • 1996 March 20, Mad dog, “the violet burning is dead, long live the violet burning”, in rec.music.christian (Usenet), message-ID :

     lyrically, the lyrics seem a little more distant, and there are definatly a lot of them. i like how they dont use the traditional verse chorus verse chorus thingy. they sorta do, but change everything around, different lyrics for the chori, ect...

   • 1996 April 29, Martha Sachs, “FINALLY--A GREAT THOMPSON "ALLELUIA"”, in rec.music.makers.choral (Usenet), message-ID <01I44EH8KXAQ9S84JA@psulias.psu.edu>:

     Ever since I first did Randall Thompson's "Alleluia" back in 1977, or so (I had never heard of it before then), I've heard it performed by a number of chori, but I've never heard it without wincing as it turns sourish. […] I have sung it with 2 chori, and our renditions were sour, as well.

   • 1996 May 17, Paula Rytk|nen, “Washing of the Water/Here Comes the Flood”, in alt.music.peter-gabriel (Usenet), message-ID <4nhj89$keo@oravannahka.Helsinki.FI>:

     Seems to me that there's more than a slight resemblance between the main chord progressions in the chorus's (chori? choroi?) of these songs. / Coincidence or too long since I listened to PG1?

   • 1997 November 10, Ralf Daniels, “Re: This may sound crazy...BUT”, in rec.music.artists.queensryche (Usenet), message-ID <3466EF98.7A0E@klft.tn.tudelft.nl>:

     I don't think AIW is that bad. I find it an interesting song. The worst song IMO is Miles Away, followed up by Get A Life. The chorusses (chori?) on those tracks are just plain terrible.

   • 1999 August 6, Joseph Kesselman, yclept Keshlam, “Re: Multi and A Capella”, in rec.music.filk (Usenet), message-ID <37AB74A2.5440F1DF@ibm.net>:

     Getting of the topic of "Solo and..." -- Would you call a filk chorus a capella, or when it gets over ten voices does it turn back into an instrumental? (Thinking of Ed Stauff's "instant" chori, among others.)

   • 1999 December 15, Off the Rails, “Re: different class vs this is hardcore”, in alt.music.pulp (Usenet), message-ID <8394hl$lup$1@gxsn.com>:

     Can't disagree here. It's the chorus that lets it down for me. Chori(?) should be faster than verses, not slow to a crawl.

   • 1999 December 27, Jzero, “Fairport Convention - The wood and the wire”, in alt.music.jethro-tull (Usenet), message-ID <848fii$d3e$1@news2.inter.net.il>:

     Although at first the song succeeds, after a while the effects and/or lack of harmony begin to outstay their welcome, and it isn't until the instrumental break reaches the dominant D (3:16), and thence to Am (in a change reminiscent of the coda to Richard Thompson's "When I get the border") than the song really takes off. But then the song returns to monotonous G, we have two more chori, and then the song ends with a bang.

     Hey Dan. Pay about $200 for the Lexicon MPX100 and you've got the best dang 'verbs you can get plus very nice "chori", delays etc. I just add a touch of reverb and either chorus or delay depending on the piece, and this thing does it very quietly and tastefully.

   • 2000 May 18, Mark A. Mandel, “Re: Some Call It Soda”, in rec.music.filk (Usenet), message-ID :

     Once I know the song well enough to inhabit it, more chorus (chori?) and verses will happen by themselves. That's what we call the "folk process".

   • 2001 November 18, Michael Ellenberger, “Re: Pat Martino, again”, in rec.music.makers.guitar.jazz (Usenet), message-ID :

     Last time I saw PMartino at Yoshi's I sat right in front of the sound booth. Pat's amps ( two Jazz chori? stacked) were aimed directly at me. The sound was perfect.

     I browsed through [link] and I think I've noticed a very subtle slight pattern in his songs, particularly to do with the chorus'ss's, and with how the chori relate to the song titles. See if you can spot it too.
