Singing, choirs and talent shows, sentence 2

A choir often splits into parts singing different notes at once, called harmony, so a different note is not always a mistake; picture the high voices, the low voices and the middle voices fitting together like layers of a cake.

Who acts: choir, parts, different notes, different note, high voices · What happens: split, sing, call, not be, picture, fit together · To what, where: parts, different notes, harmony, mistake, high voices · Speech: someone speaks here
