Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, composed in 1936 and first performed in 1937. The work is a 20th-century choral-orchestral composition that has modal melodies, propulsive rhythmic patterns, pronounced choral declamation and large orchestral forces, and it influenced Orff's later focus on a stripped-down, elemental musical approach in his stage works.
