Article in German on singer in chorus? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

altogether

'in chorus' is the definition.
(in chorus can mean altogether or all at once)

'article in german on singer' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'german' becomes 'ger' (abbreviation).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'singer' becomes 'alto' (type of singing voice).
'the' placed inside 'ger' is 'gether'.
'gether' put after 'alto' is 'ALTOGETHER'.

(Other definitions for altogether that I've seen before include "Completely, on the whole" , "totally" , "Wholly" , "nude in this" , "Quite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
