In the [[music]]al sense, "voice" has two meanings. One denotes a [[singer]] or group of singers sharing a single line, used as a term in a musical score to distinguish it from other instruments. Another is a term used in [[polyphony]] to refer to the independent lines in a musical work, especially in [[fugue]]s.
