| It is based on 24 of the poems found in the medieval collection Carmina Burana.Its full Latin title is Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis ("Songs of Beuern: Secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images."Carmina Burana is part of Trionfi, the musical triptych that also includes the cantata Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite.From Carmina Burana by Carl Orff
Problems listening to the file?Orff first encountered the text in John Addington Symonds's 1884 publication, Wine, Women, and Song, which included English translations of 46 poems from the collection.The selection covers a wide range of secular topics, as familiar in the 13th century as they are in the 21st century: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust.C, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 pianos, celesta, a large percussion section and strings.The vocal parts include soprano solo, tenor solo, baritone solo, soli of 3 tenors, baritone, and 2 basses, a large mixed choir (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), a chamber choir (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and a children's choir (ragazzi).Carmina Burana is structured into five major sections, containing thirteen movements total.Orff indicates attacca markings between all the movements within each scene.Much of the compositional structure is based on the idea of the turning Fortuna Wheel.Regnavi (I have reigned), Sum sine regno (I am without a kingdom)".Within each scene, and sometimes within a single movement, the wheel of fortune turns, joy turning to bitterness, and hope turning to grief.Overall, it sounds rhythmically straightforward and simple, but the metre will change freely from one measure to the next.While the rhythmic arc in a section is taken as a whole, a measure of five may be followed by one of seven, to one of four, and so on, often with caesura marked between them.It is here that modern performances of Carmina Burana fall short of Orff's intentions."Shortly after the greatly successful premiere, Orff wrote the following letter to his publisher, Schott Music:
"Everything I have written to date, and which you have, unfortunately, printed, can be destroyed.In retrospect the desire he expressed in the letter to his publisher has by and large been fulfilled: No other composition of his approaches its renown as evidenced in both pop culture's appropriation of O Fortuna and the classical world's persistent programming and recording of the work.Studio, released 1968 (Deutsche Grammophon).Riccardo Muti with Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus and Arleen Auger, John van Kesteren, and Jonathan Summers.BBC Radio 3's review
