Use GM midi sounds. Seriously. My Yamaha CS1x has exactly that sound, which I used a few times.

well, if you really want to synthesize it, id go for another way, cause rather one or the other is creating the sound....
imo it´s possible but a maybe lot of work to set up your eq and filtering right. catch up somewhere the markable points of that voice you like. differe between male and female, set up your filter/eq/both, check some noise from your desired synth, apply filtering, tweak, layer with some smooth backing, reverb on it, there you go.
sounds kinda more simple than it is. i found really hard to get the right settings, anyways its absolutely possible.
i came to that while i read a cool article about formant filtering in a mag. i think it was rec.mag, kinda recording magazine i bought last year. you can give that voicy style to most sounds. just feel free to try abletons eight eq and choose up its formant settings. they´re good to get an impression and have a look why things actually happen like they do. in short u just put down content not beeing captured by human voice and raise significant freq. ranges human voice is at. not talking bout the vocal thingy for now, guess you will find yourself. anyways, you easily get what i mean
hope kinda helped. everything besides synthesis is only a solution

well it would take some work to synthesize this sound from scratch. There are great choirs sounds that can morph from one vowel to the other in Kontakt 4 library... Also you can find some choir samples on the net Im sure.
But If you want to synthesize them from a scratch, here is a list of frequency, bandwidth and amplitude values you need to recreate certain vowel. So you need a bunch of parallel BP filters (five of them for each vowel) and then you have to switch between these groups of five BP filters to get different vowel sounds. Sound source should be a short burst of noise but you can experiment with different noisey sources. You wont get perfect choir sounds I guess but its a good way to experiment with this formants filters and different sound sources. To synthesize realistic choir sounds you need some more serious physical modeling sound synthesis which mimics human vocal tract which is different for male, female, soprano, mezzosoprano, baritone etc.
