Synopsis

(Schott). Carmina Burana, first performed in 1937, is based on an important collection of thirteenth-century poems found in the monastery of Benediktbeuren. Carl Orff made selections from this collection and in robust and delicate musical colors painted a manifold picture of life. "Everything I have written up to now, and which you have unfortunately printed, you can shred into pulp. My collected works begin with 'Carmina Burana'." Carl Orff wrote to his publisher after the premiere. And so it was that his work caused a sensation in the whole world and continues to delight people of all cultures. The 'Carmina Burana' is written for solo singers, chorus and orchestra.

About this title

From the Author:

"The text contained in this book is the same text Orff selected from Schmeller's edition of the Beuron manuscript [Stuttgart, 1847; Leipzig, 1928} and replicates the orthography and variant readings Orff followed in scoring his music." From the Author's Preface."

From the Back Cover:

"We should welcome [Sebesta's] book which will contribute much to the pupil's appreciation of Orff and the Carmina Burana. . . . this would be an excellent investment for the school library or stockroom." The Joint Association of Classical Teachers.

"A delightful and educational supplement for your daily Latin fare. . . . Sebesta's commentary keeps the music constantly in the mind." Peter L. Reid, NEC Newsletter.
