Religious musical composition (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oratorio

(Other definitions for oratorio that I've seen before include "Musical setting for a religous text" , "eg Handel's 'Messiah'" , "Musical composition for voices and orchestra based on a religious text" , "Music for voices and orchestra with biblical theme" , "Composition for voices and orchestra, often with biblical theme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
