From the echo I recognised a vocal group (5)

I believe the answer is:

choir

'vocal group' is the definition.
(group of vocalists)

'from the echo i recognised a' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CHOIR' is hidden within 'echo i recognised a'.

(Other definitions for choir that I've seen before include "People in church" , "warblers" , "set of singers" , "Large group of singers" , "Vocalists in group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
