Choral
A prayer song, performed by the choir and congregation at church. Chorales often became so well known that they turned into folk songs. Bach was one of the famous choral writersChorale - J.S. BachChorale - J.S. Bach; he added his chorales accompaniment; overtures (an opening movement) or interludes he played on the organ. Apart from original chorales he wrote himself, he arranged hundreds of the chorales that were known in his time, and added voices to some. Bach also introduced a concluding movement to his cantatas in which he deployed a known choralChoral 'Sheep May Safely Graze' from cantata BWV.208 - J.S. Bach, thus letting the community participate. The choral melody is usually given by the tenor, and other voices accompany in harmony.
