∙ 15y agoAn oratorio is a sacred vocal genre based on Biblical content, for example, Johann Sebastien Bach wrote "The Christmas Oratorio" which was based on the birth of Jesus Christ from the gospel books of The Bible, Franz Joseph Haydn wrote "The Creation" which was about the creation of the world based on the Biblical book of Genesis combined with John Miltion's "Paradise Lost".
The oratorio is a large scale vocal work which does not have costumes, scenery, or acting but does have recitatives, arias, and orchestra.
