Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" presents a bold mix of medieval lyrics, including love songs, drinking songs and spiritual chants. The music is characterized by strong rhythms, repetitive motifs and a concise, catchy style.
The work reflects Orff's interest in combining ancient poetry with modern music and remains a fascinating example of his innovative approach to composition.
