Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Sheila Armstrong & Brian Rayner Cook & Peter Hall & Hallé Choir & Boys of Manchester Grammar School & Hallé Orchestra & Maurice Handford

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, composed in 1935–36 and premiered in 1937. Scored for large chorus, soloists and orchestra, it juxtaposes driving rhythmic ostinatos, simple modal melodies and prominent percussion to create elemental, ritualistic textures, and it stands as a central work in Orff's output with a significant place in 20th-century choral-orchestral repertoire.
First released: May 1982
