Cantata
I would use the noun instead.

writeaway
: a cantata is a work unto itself. the right term here would have been cantabile but the Asker does not seem to need 'fach' terminology.

In deinem Kontext vielleicht: well sounding . Gesanglich vorgetragen glaube ich weniger, da die lyrische Ruhe dazu nicht so recht passt.
