you can define the spanner in its own (dynamic) context and move it wherever
you want:

myDynamics={
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit."
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) = "al"
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right attach-dir) = #LEFT
  s2. s4
  \startTextSpan
  s2. s4
  \stopTextSpan
  s1
}
<<
  \new Dynamics \myDynamics
  \new Staff { R1*3 }
  \new ChoirStaff <<
...
...
