Answer:

Chamber

Step-by-step explanation:

Cantata: Originally a sung piece (kind of chamber music) in which a person recited a verse drama accompanied by a single instrument. In the 17th century, accompaniment becomes more complex and elaborate. In the 18th century, cantatas were written for choirs with various soloists, sometimes with orchestral preludes and interludes.
