| Sites should deal specifically with various aspects of the cantatas, including composition, interpretation, listening guides, and discographies. |
A cantata is an unstaged secular or sacred composition, with several movements, for single voice or voices (alternating aria, duet, recitative, full chorus, etc.), normally accompanied by instruments. It may be considered to be the vocal equivalent of sonata.
