Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Bournemouth Symphony Chorus & Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra & David Hill

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, composed in 1935–36 and first performed in 1937. The work sets medieval Latin and Middle High German poems for large forces, featuring driving rhythmic ostinatos, bold choral declamation, prominent percussion and orchestral colour, and it occupies a central place in Orff's output as the culmination of his search for an elemental, rhythmically direct theatrical style.
First released: 1995
