A chamber choir or group of chamber singers is the choral equivalent of a chamber ensemble, using voices instead of instruments. This choir will usually consist of 20-40 elite and dedicated singers. Several chamber choir formats exist, ranging from barbershop groups to exclusively female arrangements.

From these sweet-springing meads and bursting boughs of May,
Dream, while the innumerable choir of day
Welcome the dawn.”
