Different Types Of Choirs

This morning, after returning from my favourite event of the year, the Music Festival's rehearsal, we were given the task of writing about two different types of choirs.

1. Gospel choir
"Gospel music is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of the African-American church. During the late 1800s, African-American churches in the southern United States started fusing various styles of music into their worship services, including African-American spirituals, hymns, and sacred songs."

2. Jazz choir
"A vocal jazz ensemble usually consists of the choir, normally made up of 8–16 singers, and a Rhythm section most often consisting of a pianist, a bassist, a guitarist, and a drummer. Singers either each hold a microphone or sing with area microphones."
