Naturally the audiences that support various kinds of music are not identical. There are separate audiences, of widely differing tastes and musical receptivity, for opera, symphony and chamber music. The oratorio audience is a very special group made up of the most conservative tastes and opinions. One suspects that it is recruited largely from friends and families of the singers. Now a stage full of happy and earnest oratorio singers must represent considerable potential ticket sales, and, if this is true, it does not malt much difference what work the singers select to perform. Anyone who has ever sung in a chorus knows what fun it is to sing Handel. The music is easy to grasp, fits the voice well, and fine effects are achieved with a minimum of professional skill. The plan of the Handel oratorio is ideal for the ordinary amateur singing group. All the hard parts are taken by professional soloists, who can be imported for the occasion. Therefore the chorus can make a public appearance after long, leisurely preparation and add on at the last moment the final professional touches. Thus the never-ending vogue of the oratorio and its unchanging aspect must be attributed, at least partially, to the amateur choral societies that are to be found in almost every community.
The author indicates that the oratorio audience is probably composed of ______ .
选项
A、music composers
B、traveling musicians
C、amateur theater groups
D、performer’s relatives and friends
答案
D
解析
此题为细节题。答案可以在文章前半部分中找到。“One suspects...”为线索词,可见作者是借他人之口表明(indicate)这种歌剧的观众主要是演员的家人和亲戚,因此可以排除A项“曲作者”,B项“巡回演出的音乐家”和C项“业余剧团”。
