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.Michel Hofmann, a young law student and Latin and Greek enthusiast, assisted Orff in the selection and organization of 24 of these poems into a libretto including both Latin and Middle High German verse.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).Orff's disciple Wilhelm Killmayer in 1956 and authorised by Orff himself, to afford smaller ensembles the opportunity of performing the piece.Orff indicates attacca markings between all the movements within each scene.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.Fortuna, the first poem in the Schmeller edition, completes this circle, forming a compositional frame for the work by consisting of both the opening and closing movements.Musical style
Orff's style demonstrates a desire for directness of speech and of access.Carmina Burana contains little or no development in the classical sense, and polyphony is also conspicuously absent.Orff was influenced melodically by late Renaissance and early Baroque models including William Byrd and Claudio Monteverdi.His shimmering orchestration shows a deference to Stravinsky.Rhythm for Orff, as for Stravinsky, is often the primary musical element.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.Staging
Orff developed a dramatic concept he called "Theatrum Mundi" in which music, movement, and speech were inseparable.Babcock writes that "Orff's artistic formula limited the music in that every musical moment was to be connected with an action on stage.It is here that modern performances of Carmina Burana fall short of Orff's intentions."Although Carmina Burana was intended as a staged work involving dance, choreography, visual design and other stage action, the piece is now usually performed in concert halls as a cantata.With Carmina Burana my collected works begin."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."Carl Orff's Carmina Burana: A Fresh Approach to the Work's Performance Practice."Composers of the Nazi Era: Eight Portraits.Taruskin, Richard: The Oxford History of Western Music.This page was last modified 08:42, 6 January 2008.Bold text

9.In taberna quando sumus
15.FORTUNA
The uncertainty of Fortune was a regular motif in medieval literature; various symbols and examples of her caprice became commonplace.It is, however, considerably enhanced by the musical setting which Orff has given it.Fortune, like the moon of ever changing state, you are always waxing or waning; hateful life now is brutal, now pampers our feelings with its game; poverty, power, it melts them like ice.Fate, savage and empty, you are a turning wheel, your position is uncertain, your favour is idle and always likely to disappear; covered in shadows and veiled you bear upon me too; now my back is naked through the sport of your wickedness.At this hour without delay touch the strings!Because through luck she lays low the brave, all join with me in lamentation!
