Male voice choirs are composed of four sections:
2 groups of tenors (Tops and Seconds)
2 groups of basses (sometimes called first and second Basses but, more usually, Baritones and Basses).
This is why our printed music is referred to as TTBB, as opposed to the SATB (sopranos, altos, tenors and basses) of mixed choirs. As you face the choir, our line-up is as shown below, with the top tenors on the left. there is no fixed rule about this ~ and other choirs may arrange their sections differently.
