Classical Net - Carmina Burana - Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/works/orff-cb/carmina.html
Carmina Burana (from here-on abbreviated to CB) is a work which regularly comes up for discussion in the rec.music.classical newsgroups as well as rec.music.movies.
It is the author's hope that this document will provide some background information on this popular work and a guide to the available recordings. CB is briefly discussed in the more general rec.music.classical FAQ compiled by Gabe Wiener (gabe@panix.com). . . .
The title "Carmina Burana" literally means 'songs of Beuren' and was given by Johann Andreas Schmeller to his complete edition (1847) of the poems contained in an early 13th-century German manuscript (found in 1803) from the Benedictine abbey of Benediktbeuern, south of Munich in the Bavarian region.
You will find most CB liner notes refer to Benediktbeuren which is mis-spelt. . . . In total, the manuscript contains approximately 250 poems.
Who wrote the music?
Carl Orff was born in Munich on the 10th July, 1895 . . .
Orff wrote a secular cantata, titled "Carmina Burana" based on the poems from the manuscript, but did not use any of the original melodies. The poems comprise religious, political, moral, erotic, Bacchic and Satirical verses. When Orff discovered the Carmina Burana for himself, the poems changed his entire career. . . .
His work contains driving rhythms and exultant hedonism, and brought him to wide attention in the musical world.
Orff was a devout active Roman Catholic and included bells in "Ave formosissima" (Song 24). One wonders if the Roman Catholic Church would have officially endorsed Carl Orff's works, particularly Carmina Burana. . . .
Classical music refers to music from the period 1780-1820 but the term "classical" is usually applied by the public to Baroque, Classical, Romantic and serious 20th Centruty Music. . . .
Recordings of Carmina Burana . . . Detailed coments on 23 recordings. Excellent detailed articles.
