Carmina Burana

  • © GSOplay

Carl Orff realised that he, with Carmina Burana (Songs Of Beuern) had created something exceptional, and stated laconically: "Everything I have written to date can be destroyed. With Carmina Burana, my collected works begin.” These medieval texts about the trials and joys of life – gambling, love, food and drink – were found in a collection in the monastery of Beuern in Switzerland. Carl Orff was fascinated by the meaty and passionate folklore poems, and created music that was as suggestive, direct and powerful – music that shakes you up as well as moves your heart.
