choir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'loud for those singing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'papers read out' is the wordplay.
'papers' becomes 'quire' (I've seen this in other clues).
'read out' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'quire' sounds like 'CHOIR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for choir that I've seen before include "warblers" , "Body of singers" , "People in church" , "They sing" , "set of singers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
