	Carmina Burana
		The dating of the Carmina Burana is based on two main types of evidence, textual and paleographic (the study of handwriting styles).
		As Orff's work illustrates, much of the Carmina Burana deals with basic human themes such as the fickleness of fortuna or luck, the inevitability of death, the joy and pain of love, and the predominance of human frailties over virtues (including several satires directly aimed at clerics).
		Peter became a tutor to King William II of Sicily in 1167, and in 1173, went to England and served Henry II and Thomas á Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, as a Latin secretary.

	Carmina Burana (Orff) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff between 1935 and 1936.
		Carmina Burana was first staged in Frankfurt by the Frankfurt Opera on June 8, 1937 (Conductor: Bertil Wetzelsberger, Choir Cäcilienchor, staging by Otto Wälterlin and sets and costumes by Ludwig Sievert).
		Carmina Burana thus has a controversial history due the period and location of its composition, not to mention the somewhat dubious political stance of its composer: it was embraced by the Nazi regime as a celebration of early Aryan culture, which it undoubtedly was.

		After the Benediktbeuren collection was revealed and published in the nineteenth century, it became well known in literary circles, but it wasn’t until the verses were appropriated by German composer Carl Orff in the 1930’s that they achieved their modern fame.
		From the urgent tones of the chorus in “O Fortuna” to Gerhard Stolze’s unforgettably over-the-top rendition of “Olim Lacus Colueram”, it is a performance saturated with theatrical intensity, and Jochum’s unerring pacing never fails to convince.

		Composer Carl Orff’s vision for Carmina Burana was monumental theatre combining music, words, and movement to create a truly unusual spectacle of fantasy that portrays medieval Europe at its most hedonistic.
		Haunting choral passages, Gregorian style chants, powerful orchestrations, unusual lighting effects, projections, dancers in extraordinary costumes and some of the most driving percussion in classical music combine to create a work that pulsates with energy and is said to have an almost physical effect on the listener!
