Carmina Burana

Album by Carl Orff & Pražský filharmonický sbor & Česká filharmonie & Václav Smetáček

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata by German composer Carl Orff, composed in 1935–36 and first performed in 1937. Scored for large chorus, soloists and orchestra, it sets medieval Latin and Middle High German texts to dramatic, rhythmically driven music featuring strong ostinato patterns and modal melodies, and it occupies a central place in Orff's output as the work that crystallised his focus on elemental rhythm and theatrical immediacy.
First released: 1961
