Usage notes
- Use coro for both a singing group and the repeated part of a song; context usually makes it clear.
- For church or classical singing, coro is common; band and orchestra are not interchangeable.
- In songs, ritornello often means the catchy repeated section; coro is also used, especially in modern music contexts.
