"Carmina Burana" and the great masterpieces of music. Carl Orff

All this guarantees an unforgettable concert experience!

Carmina Burana (lat. Carmina Burana) is a masterpiece of the 20th century and a mysterious work, the only one of its kind (first performance - June 8, 1937). Burana Codex - manuscript and great monument of the Renaissance - contained notes and poems of the Vagantes and wandering monks of the XII century. According to legend, the author-monk devoted his whole life to serving God, and at the end of his days he looked back at his life and saw that God had nothing to do with it - changeable fortune rules the world. Composer Carl Orff chose 24 songs and wrote brilliant, hypnotic melodies for them of inhuman beauty - grandiose choral passages, Gregorian chants and an orchestra with the most powerful percussion in classical music.

The drawing of the wheel was found on the front page of the Burana Codex. It contained four phrases written on the wheel: "I will reign, I reign, I reigned, I am without a kingdom"! The Wheel of Fortune turns, happiness turns to sadness, and hope turns to grief.

The legendary cantata "Carmina Burana" is the most famous work of the 20th century German composer Carl Orff. Written in 1937, the cantata still amazes listeners today both by its monumentality (both in terms of the enormous composition of the orchestra and in duration) and, at the same time, by its artistic democratism, surprisingly combining the “seriousness” of the academic genre and its bright superimaginative presentation. Many numbers of Orff's immortal composition became the most popular works academic music of the entire twentieth century. And the most famous was the legendary opening choir "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi". Simplicity and clarity of form are combined in it with deep philosophical idea fatality of fate: in a similar combination of simplicity harmonic language and structural structure, on the one hand, and the ambiguity, complexity of the themes and ideas raised in music, on the other hand, lies the charm of the music of the outstanding German composer.

Orff's work is based on twenty-four poems from a collection of medieval poetry called Carmina Burana. This name is translated from Latin as "Songs of Boyern". This is due to the fact that the original manuscript of the collection (“Codex Buranus”) was found in 1803 in the Benedictine monastery of Beuern (Bavaria). The themes of these poems, and, accordingly, from the musical analogue, are relevant not only for the 13th century: these are the inconstancy of luck and wealth, the transience of life, the joy of the return of spring and the pleasure of drunkenness, gluttony, gambling and love.
