Behind the scenes
- "Chorus" is a term in music, denoting a group of vocalists, but it also harkens back to the theatre concept, that is, the Greek chorus, which tended to narrate plays about gods and humans, both in tragedies and comedies.
- There are at least three ways to interpret this line:
- The "chorus" in question gave them that monicker in the first place;
- The chorus of ancient songs sing about Maestro, most likely either in fear or in praise;
- The chorus knows Maestro, and simply use their name, in the same sense that Bernice Summerfield tends to say, "My friends call me Benny."
- Both iPlayer subtitles and Russell T Davies's pink revision script[1] render "chorus of ancient songs" all in lower-case.
