What is it called when oen voice type sings a 'solo?'












2















We have three groups (soprano, alto, and baritone) and for one of the songs we're singing each vocal section has a piece or section that we have to sing. Our conductor referred to it as a specific word but I can't find anything anywhere... can anyone help me???

Possibly soli?



In my experience, it means a solo for an entire section. For example, a saxophone soli would be a feature for all the saxophones in a big band.



Google tells me it has other meanings in different contexts, so it may not be a universally applicable term.
