Impossible to tell for sure without hearing it!.

However, its safe to say that its NOT a sonata, symphony, or concerto, as those are purely instrumental forms!.

It could be a performance of an aria from an opera, but operas (if performed in full) are usually done on stage, in costume while acting out the story, with an orchestra providing the accompanying music!.

Chant (as in Gregorian chant) is performed without instrumental accompaniment, so its not that either!.

Madrigals, throughout most of their history, were traditionally performed without instrumental accompaniment either, so probably not that either!.

Most likely its a lied (German for "song")!. Classical lieder might be written for one or two voices with small ensemble accompaniment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

With the descriptions given little is explained but I actually think it could be a cantana!. because their is a vocal composistion with an instrumental accompaniment!. All those choices really don't suit the description!. Sorry if I'm wrong though!.
