“…Orr (2003) describes how low-cost printing of choral scores, combined with increased demand for choral performance, made it easier for American composers to be heard and even says that "choral music was the mainstay of American musical life" (413). That choral music was deeply embedded in the early community life of American communities is shown by the scale of the "Community Sing" movement; one concert in Santa Barbara, California in late 1919 had 3,000 singers (Smith 1993);Larson (2003: 181) noted that a choir of 5,000 sang Handel's Messiah at the dedication of Chicago's World Columbian Exposition in 1892.…”

Choral music is the leading form of public participation in the arts in the United States. This article describes choral music from an organizational perspective, using a strategic management framework to examine total market scale, scope of activity, and internal structure. While many tens of thousands of choruses are embedded in educational and religious institutions, this article focuses on independent, community-based choruses. Data from public and private sources, including the leading national service organization for choruses, shows that an estimated 3,000 of these choruses operate in the U.S. They are typically organized along club models, with significant contributions to finances and governance made by chorus singers. Summary data in the article show variation in governance and program activity within budget ranges and among chorus types including professional, symphonic, volunteer, and children/youth.
