DOUBLE CHORUS (German: Doppelchor) - a choir divided into 2 relatively independent. parts, as well as muses. works written for such a choir. Each part D. x. represents a complete mixed choir (for example, a millet dance “Millet” from the opera “May Night” by Rimsky-Korsakov) or consists of homogeneous voices - one part from women and the other from men (a similar composition is provided, for example, in D. Kh. No 2 from the cantata “After Reading the Psalm” by Taneyev); D. are more rare. only from uniform voices (eg double male choirs from Wagner's Lohengrin). In some cases, composers resort to a combination of a homogeneous and complete mixed choir (eg, A.P. Borodin in the choir of Polovtsy and USA captives from the opera Prince Igor), a homogeneous and incomplete mixed choir (eg, HA Rimsky-Korsakov in USA songs from the opera May Night.)Parts D. x. usually marked as I and II choirs. Homogeneous choirs can consist of one, two, three, four parts. I. G. Litsvenko.
