choragus , także: choregus

Such was the case for the choragus, who organized and financed choruses for a drama festival.

In 1848 the offices were divided, Sir Henry Bishop becoming professor, and Dr. Elvey choragus.

While William Crotch simultaneously held the offices of professor of music and choragus at Oxford, Elvey acted as his deputy in all professorial matters for some years until Crotch died at the end of 1847.
