4 Taking into consideration the work's performing forces (for solo tenor, choir and a speaker/recitation), secular oratorio seems to be a more apt generic designation; See Locke, Ralph P., Musical Exoticism: Images and Reflections (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009)Google Scholar: 19, 152.
