Like some songs mixed choirs originally performed tastefully (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strophic

'like some songs' is the definition.
(strophic form is a type of song structure)

'mixed choirs originally performed tastefully' is the wordplay.
'mixed' indicates an anagram.
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'performed tastefully' is 'pt'.
'choirs'+'pt'='choirspt'
'choirspt' with letters rearranged gives 'STROPHIC'.
