Choral works are a type of musical composition that involve multiple singers and instruments. Oratorios, cantatas, and motets are all examples of choral works. An oratorio is a large-scale musical composition for orchestra, choir, and soloists, usually based on a religious text. A cantata is a vocal composition with an instrumental accompaniment, typically in several movements. Lastly, a motet is a polyphonic choral composition on a sacred Latin text.
