Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Martin Grubinger & Percussive Planet Ensemble

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, first performed in 1937. The work sets medieval Latin and Middle High German poems for large forces—chorus, soloists and orchestra—and is characterised by driving rhythms, repetitive ostinato patterns and modal-influenced harmonies, making it a defining work in Orff's output and a central piece of 20th-century choral-orchestral repertoire.
First released: 2011
