Perhaps. But I think some of it is that choral singers just do more singing,
in terms of elapsed time. Solo singers, in most circumstances, sing here and
there, and opera chorus people have a few scenes. But choral singers doing a
major choral work might be singing 45 minutes in an hour of elapsed time.
That's lots of those good brain chemicals gettin' released into the
bloodstream.
