You will
soon be listening to a type of music called choral music. It's
music that is made by a group of people singing together. This
group of singers is called a chorus or choir. When you hear
it, it might make you think of something. That's because this
kind of music is often used on TV and in movies when there are
scenes of heaven, angels, paradise, or even space. It's also
because this type of music is often sung in churches.
There is something special about music made with human voices.
Music sung by human voices can sometimes grab our attention
in a different way than music played on instruments.

In choral music,
you not only have the power of music but also the power of a group
of human beings all working together to make music with their voices.
The result is something very special.
The choral music you will hear is sung in different languages. You
might not understand the words. However, you will get feelings about
