English term or phrase: double
If you get music for quartet, you can either take turns playing and listening or just *double* one of the parts. There is also quite a bit of music out there for saxophone quintet as well. The goal is to use music that encourages your section to work together as a chamber music ensemble and to play music that helps with the basics of section playing (intonantion, balance, blend).

double (hier)
zweimal verteilen/spielen


Explanation:
As far as I can understand from the context, a group of 5 = quintet (or more) musicians is to play to quartet music. So either you take turns in playing one voice or you have one voice play by two players...

Hier ein Übersetzungsvorschlag:
Wenn Quartettnoten vorliegen, kann entweder abwechselnd gespielt oder zugehört werden oder es wird ein Teil/eine Stimme doppelt vergeben.

verdoppeln


Explanation:
Im Musikerjargon (Bläser) benutzt man "verdoppeln". Erste Hornstimmen verden häufig verdoppelt, um den ersten zu entlasten.

neutral  Karin Maack: Als Jargon OK, aber im Satzzusammenhang passt es nicht: Eigentlich werden nämlich nicht die Stimmen verdoppelt, sondern die Besetzung.
