Carmina Burana’s work is anchored in the famous Carmina Burana (scenic cantata) based on 24 poems from the medieval Carmina Burana collection. Premiered June 8, 1937 at Oper Frankfurt, the piece combines powerful choral writing with driving percussion and orchestral color. The ensemble remains a staple in both concert halls and staged performances, continuing Orff’s educational legacy through programs inspired by the Orff Schulwerk method.
