Relating to or used for singing; having the nature or quality of a cantata or song.
Derived from Latin 'cantare' (to sing) with the adjectival suffix '-ory,' which means 'relating to' or 'of the nature of.' A rare learned adjective from musicological vocabulary.
This word survived mainly in music scholarship and academic writing, where scholars might describe a 'cantatory style' or 'cantatory composition'—it's the kind of word that sounds more impressive than common alternatives.
