What do you call a song without lyrics?

Whoever answered "TECHNO MUSIC" is delusional or just playing with you... *cough* A song without lyrics are "instrumental" songs. They are composed to convey thought without needing the use of words. There are also "karaoke" songs which are songs that have had their lyrics taken out of the original song so that you could sing along to it. You actually call a piece of music with no lyrics such as a classical concerto or metal Instrumental a "piece", although it can be called an instrumental as well. You "sing" a song and you "play" a piece.


The stories for oratorios are generally drawn from?

Most of the oratorios written have taken their libretti (the words) from the Bible. Many obtain their words from the Old Testament as well as the New. For example, In Mendelssohn's Elijah, most of the story is found in the First Book of Kings in the Old Testament In Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, the words come from the same part of the Old Testament, as well as the Psalms. In Handel's Messiah, the words come a great deal from the prophesies found in the Old Testament about Jesus In the passions of Bach, the words come from the New Testament stories of Jesus' Trial and Crucifixion.

Why did Felix Mendelssohn write hark the angles sing?

He didn't. As far as I know, the only thing he wrote in English was the great oratorio "Elijah". However, he was a very popular composer in England and after his death, in the mid 1850s, WH Cummings adapted an extract from Mendelssohn's "Festgesang" to the words of a carol written by Charles Wesley in 1739 : Hark! the herald angels sing Glory".
