Polish term or phrase: chorałowy
Recenzja. Opis stylu muzycznego zespołu:

W niektórych utworach organowe, panoramiczne brzmienie akordeonu ustępuje dostojnym, chorałowym współbrzmieniom solennego fortepianu.

Domyślam się, że chodzi o takie brzmienie jak w chorałach gregoriańskich. Chant-like? wydaje mi się, że chant like mówi trochę za mało...

agree  LilianNekipelov: Yes, I think so. Definitely not chant-like. It has nothing to do with chanting here, but rather with the harmony of the piano polyphonic music.

neutral  LilianNekipelov: Not exactly in this context.

  -> thank you, Lilian. It depends on how poetic the Asker is when reading this.
neutral  Polangmar: Hymn/pean zamiast chorału? I dlaczego "fortepianÓW", skoro w oryginale jest "fortepianU"? A jeśli nawet, to w liczbie mnogiej dopełniacz tworzymy tylko za pomocą apostrofu (bez "s").

  -> Extra "s" is a spelling mistake. Chorale is fine; chorale-like a bit less poetic to me. Chorale is a technical word (German, protestant, etc.), so I provided an option. Thank you for pointing out the error and for the discussion, Polangmar.
