An oratorio is a large-scale work for chorus, vocal soloists, and orchestra that usually tells a religious story or narrative. Cantatas are also similar to oratorios, but they are usually shorter in length and may not have a narrative text. Art songs are typically for a solo voice and piano and are not usually performed with a chorus or orchestra. A mass is also a large-scale work for chorus and orchestra, but it is specifically a musical setting of the Catholic mass.
