Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff between 1935 and 1936. It is based on 24 of the poems found in the medieval collection Carmina Burana. Its full Latin title is Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis ("Songs of Beuern: Secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images.") Carmina Burana is part of Trionfi, the musical triptych that also includes the cantata Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. The best-known movement is "O Fortuna" that opens and closes the piece.

You have probably heard “O Fortuna” because it is used in ads on TV for football.

Carmina Burana: 13th-century manuscript that contains songs (the Carmina Burana proper) and six religious plays. The contents of the manuscript are attributed to the goliards (q.v.), wandering scholars and students in western Europe during the 10th to the 13th century who were known for their songs and poems in praise of revelry.
The Carmina Burana (“Songs from Bavaria”), the largest and greatest collection of secular lyrics, comes from the Benediktbeuern, a Benedictine monastery in Bavaria. It was put together in the 13th century, though most of the songs are much older, and contains work by many of the finest poets of the age.

Three tales heard at a workshop on March 13, 2008
(1) Erik Satie’s Vexations is an unique piece for piano consisting of a simple motif repeated 840 times. The work was found on a single page in his notebook after the composer’s death. Some scholars wonder if Satie ever meant it to be taken seriously at all. The composition was first performed by John Cage and other pianists in 1963 with the performance lasting over 19 hours. You can read a fascinating essay on Vexations here.

(2) A copy of Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words was placed in the map division in the British Library. It was “lost” for a long time, before a librarian realized it belonged in the music division, and that’s where it is today.
(3) Karel Husa, winner of the 1993 Grawemeyer Award and the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for Music, is an internationally known composer and conductor. His wife, who speaks very little English, received notification by phone and hung up more than once saying she didn’t want anyone “pulling a surprise” on her.
