The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The meaning of the term changed over time, from the simple single-voice madrigal of the early 17th century to the multi-voice "cantata da camera" and the "cantata da chiesa" of the later part of that century, from the more substantial dramatic forms of the 18th century to the usually sacred-texted 19th-century cantata, which was effectively a type of short oratorio.
- Cantatas for use in the liturgy of church services are called church cantata or sacred cantatas, other cantatas can be indicated as secular cantatas.
- Several cantatas were, and still are, written for special occasions, such as Christmas cantatas.
Why it is Uncommon

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 27: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
