Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra & Bournemouth Symphony Chorus & Marin Alsop

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, composed in 1936 and premiered in 1937. The work employs large-scale chorus, solo voices and orchestra with a strong rhythmic drive, modal melodies, repeating ostinato patterns and prominent percussion while setting medieval Latin and Middle High German texts, and it forms the centrepiece of Orff's Trionfi cycle, exemplifying his focus on rhythmic, dramatic and text-led composition.
