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.
乐团和合唱团呈现了一场感人的亨德尔《弥赛亚》演出，这是一部有史以来最著名的宗教音乐剧之一。
Bach composed several renowned oratorios like the Christmas Oratorio which set biblical texts to music for holidays.
巴赫创作了几部著名的清唱剧，如《圣诞清唱剧》，将圣经文字谱成音乐，以供节日演唱。
