Program Notes: Carmina Burana
Manage episode 350396343 series 3428443
We explore one of the biggest primal screams in music: Carmina Burana. Carl Orff’s barbaric yet lyrical cantata for orchestra and chorus is an epic fight back against the powers of fate. The iconic musical drama is filled with drunkenness, debauchery and love. We’ll also hear the strange love story of Daphnis et Chloe, by Maurice Ravel. These program notes include music excerpts.
