Someone has probably already answered this one for you, but here it is
anyway,
In choral, or group vocal music, it refers to the lower tenor part- or, if
there is only one part, with divisi at certain spots, the second tenors will
opt for the lower part. Generally, in a choir, the tenors with the easier
top are asked to sing first tenor, and other tenors, or high baritones (if
there is a tenor shortage) sing second tenor.
