neutral Andrew Swift: There are not many options when arranging the seating for five players.
19 mins
  -> well, chorally isn't one of them-they'd be seated in a semi-circle like in orchestra

disagree Frosty: Here, chorally has to do with the timbre and range of the instruments, not where the players are placed.
40 mins
  -> I was also implying that-the way an orchestra is arranged has a big influence on the sound. anyway in a chorus is the same idea isn't it-you talk about how they are placed
