chóralna

Chóralna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective chóralny, meaning related to a choir or to choral music. It is used to describe music written for multiple voices, performances by a choir, or anything connected with choral singing. In practice, the term appears in references to choral music, choral repertoire, and choral institutions, as in muzyka chóralna (choral music), utwory chóralne (choral works), or zespół chóralny (choir).

The word derives from the noun chór (choir) with the adjectival suffix -alny. It agrees with feminine nouns such as muzyka (music), tradycja (tradition), pieśń (song), or partytura (score). The corresponding masculine and neuter forms are chóralny and chóralne, used with appropriate nouns (utwór chóralny, partytura chóralna, repertuar chóralny).

In usage, chóralna commonly appears in musicology, program notes, and cultural discourse to distinguish choral aspects from instrumental or solo forms. It can describe styles, genres, or practices tied to group singing, such as a choral tradition, a choral repertoire, or a choral performance. The term helps specify the choir-related character of works, events, and institutions, without implying a specific musical period or national style.
