What is an "oratorio"?
An oratorio is a large-scale musical composition written for soloists, choir, and orchestra. Unlike an opera, it is performed without staging, costumes, or acting. Oratorios are usually based on religious or biblical themes and are often performed in concert settings. They consist of multiple movements, often structured similarly to a symphony or suite, and are designed to convey a narrative or explore a particular religious or spiritual theme.
Example
The orchestra and choir presented a moving performance of Handel 's Messiah, one of the most famous oratorios ever written.
Orchestr a sbor se představily s dojemným provedením Handelova Mesiáše, jednoho z nejslavnějších oratorií, jaká byla kdy napsána.
Bach composed several renowned oratorios like the Christmas Oratorio which set biblical texts to music for holidays.
Bach složil několik renomovaných oratorií, jako je Vánoční oratorium, které zhudebňovalo biblické texty pro svátky.
