The German composer Carl Orff is widely known for his work in music education, particularly in exploration of the connections between music and movement.

The best known of all Orff's works is the Carmina Burana, a large scale work making use of the medieval Latin and Old German lyrics found at the monastery of Benediktbeuern.

Orff believed that music, movement, and speech are not separate entities in and of themselves, but that they form a unity that he called elemental music.

 Andechs Monastery - Veranstaltungen - Carl Orff
It was just by chance that these manuscripts came into the hands of Carl Orff, who was so fascinated by the encounter with these texts that he later recalled being immediately overwhelmed by images and sounds, and ended up outlining the first chorus ‘O Fortuna’ (O Fortune) the very same day.
In Carmina Burana, Orff discovered his own musical style, since the middle age texts inspired him towards totally sensuous music with highly simplified rhythmics and harmonics.
The music was labeled as non-German and the Latin texts with their offensive contents were enough to put Orff and his works in a bad light.
