Note to Taña Thanks Taña, that's useful. Why don't you post an answer with "choral groups"? (maybe I can give you the points!)

Although I must say that looking at that website, it doesn't look like there's any difference between "choir" and "choral group" in English either!

coros and corales perform together at choral/choir festivals - I´ve never noticed any difference in their repertoire (or performing skills!!!). Taña´s choral groups sounds fine.

patricia scott Jan 24, 2007:
Hello Alan, the "masa"part of it refers to conjunto or group of people in the (I suppose it's used because they tend to be a lot of people in the coro) I'm not sure if you can say chorus/choir groups in English?
