Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Jacksonville Symphony & Fabio Mechetti & Andrea Mathews

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, premiered in 1937. The work sets medieval Latin and Middle High German texts for large orchestra, chorus and soloists and is characterised by strong rhythmic propulsion, modal melodies and vivid choral writing, marking a pivotal point in Orff's career that crystallised his percussive, rhythm-focused approach to vocal-orchestral composition.
First released: 2006
