Editing Refrain (section)

== In jazz ==
Many Tin-Pan Alley songs using thirty-two bar form are central to the traditional [[jazz]] repertoire. In jazz arrangements the word "chorus" refers to the same unit of music as in the Tin Pan Alley tradition, but unlike the Tin Pan Alley tradition a single song can have more than one chorus. Von Appen and Frei-Hauenschild explain, "The term, 'chorus' can also refer to a single iteration of the entire 32 bars of the AABA form, especially among jazz musicians, who improvise over multiple repetitions of such choruses."<ref>Appen and Frei-Hauenschild 2015, p. 4.</ref>

=== Arranger's chorus ===
In jazz, an '''arranger's chorus''' is where the [[arranger]] uses particularly elaborate techniques to exhibit their skill and to impress the listener. This may include use of [[counterpoint]], [[harmonization|reharmonization]], [[tone color]], or any other arranging device. The arranger's chorus is generally not the first or the last chorus of a jazz performance.{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}

=== Shout chorus ===
In jazz, a '''shout chorus''' (occasionally: '''out chorus''') is usually the last chorus of a [[big band]] arrangement, and is characterized by being the most energetic, lively, and exciting and by containing the musical climax of the piece. A shout chorus characteristically employs extreme [[range (music)|ranges]], loud [[dynamics (music)|dynamics]], and a re-arrangement of melodic motives into short, accented riffs. Shout choruses often feature [[tutti]] or concerted writing, but may also use [[counterpoint|contrapuntal]] writing or [[call and response (music)|call and response]] between the [[Brass instrument|brass]] and [[saxophone]]s, or between the [[musical ensemble|ensemble]] and the [[drummer]]. Additionally, brass players frequently use extended techniques such as falls, doits, turns, and shakes to add excitement.
