Chorus of ancient songs

According to Maestro, God of Music, the "chorus of ancient songs" called them by that name, which they called their "notation". (TV: The Devil's Chord ^[+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"])

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, a group of performers who spoke in one voice, narrating stories about gods and humans, both in tragedies and comedies.
• Maestro simply says, "The chorus of ancient songs call me... Maestro." There are at least three possible interpretations:
  1. The "chorus" in question gave them that monicker in the first place;
  2. The chorus of ancient songs sing about Maestro, most likely either in fear or in praise;
  3. 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 render "chorus of ancient songs" all in lower-case.
