It is not easy to translate 'Oratorio' and 'Cantata' into proper Chinese, but the meaning can be described in terms of changing movement. Such changes have seen three big turning directions: from religion to secularism, from polyphony to homophony, from chamber music to symphony. From the emergency of 'Oratorio' and 'Cantata' to the end of Baroque times is one such stage of changing movement, which is characterized by the transformation from religion to secularism.
