I can't help shedding tears every time I hear Carmina Burana. I am honored to have been a part of a choir that performed this in 2016, when I was 31. It was such a powerful piece that always hit me emotionally. My grandfather attended and explained after that he had never been to a performance like that before. I knew in that moment how proud I made him. He passed on my birthday in 2021. I am so happy he was able to make the 3.5 hour drive to see me. Our family wasn't know for many accomplishments, if you catch my drift. I will never forget how much it meant to both of us.

My father dragged my brother, sister and I kicking and screaming to Carnegie Hall and to this day I'm glad he did. When I watch a Symphony or any Orchestra perform it seems other worldly. How did the human experience evolved this ability? How is it that a person's mind can contain a song/musical picture then invent a way to represent it into a musical language so that others can perform it? How one person can understand the nature of a large variety of instruments, this also includes the human voice, and combined them all into such amazing expressions. In my opinion this is true magic!

[@ahmetepik]

+Laurie Bolles They were perfect, becouse they never had social media...

[@brwmeistr9]

+Laurie Bolles You used a word which exactly describes music, ie LANGUAGE! Music was the third of my five languages, and I think the most important one for learning other languages, as one must be precise with pitch, rhythm, intonation, dynamics, and more, along with finding the emotional content of the work. It matters little if one is performing Orff, Bach, Rutter, Gjeilo, Pink Floyd, Beatles, or Fever Tree. The precision of all aspects of the musical language is essential to ANY work performed, and the composer is but the initiator of those aspects. For many, many years I was less than enthralled with chamber music, especially string quartets (SQ) and similar sized ensembles. Someone, I don't remember whom, suggested that an SQ wasn't just 4 people bowing and plucking their own instrument, but actually was a conversation between the 4 players, each adding commentary to the conversation in turn. I began intentionally listening to small ensembles in that manner, and gained an even deeper understanding and appreciation of that music and eventually music in general.I've been making music for 60 years, and I consider music to be my second most important language. Yes, it IS magic, as a small child learning to speak is magic, but the magic is honed by intense work, deep listening, and guided by emotion. Come to think of it, that's exactly like a small child learning to speak! The magic is there, the work is evident, and the emotion pervades one's being. It NEVER ends, as there's always more language to understand!My best to you,Brew

[@lauriebolles3149]

+Ahmet Sipahioglu Your statement interests me, could you elaborate a bit more?

[@lauriebolles3149]

+brwmeistr9 Brew maybe you can help me respond to Franisco Alanis' reply. I can pick out a few words but I'm seriously missing the jest and I would not wish to be rude. Plus I have never had anyone respond in Italian before and I'm dying of curiosity. I'm not proud for not learning another language. I took French in Junior High, I know how to introduce myself along with the person standing beside me and ask directions to the library.' I did learn how to answer a phone in Japanese, say Thank you' and introduce myself. Come to think about it communication is everything whether it be scent trails, sonar/ echo location or bird songs. I love to watch Jane Goodall's male chimpanzees drumming specific trees with their hind feet. It makes you wonder 'when did we start drumming things for the pleasure of it'? Our musical heritage is quite ancient. Have a nice day and follow your bliss. It sounds like you have! Laurie Ann

My high school is currently working on this piece and will perform it soon for our winter concert. When we practice it just us (the band) it sound good, but the first time we played and the chorus sang... OH MY GOD! The first O' Fortuna they sing just over powers the band and it's just one of those moments. I could write a story that's how descriptive I could get but for the sake of reading this I'll stop here.

[@mydogskips2]

+Kilyén Balázs I'm glad you like the music and I appreciate your comment, except for the final point where you say that this music is more epic and emotional than the whole life of some people. I think the music serves to illustrate the great and epic drama, the ever-changing fortunes, and emotional depths both high and low, that captures the essence of life itself. This is to say that life, all life, exists in the tense struggle to move with the whirling wheel, endlessly oscillating between triumph and tragedy, life and death. From Wikipedia the text says, O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable, ever waxing and waning; hateful life first oppresses and then soothes as the sharp mind takes it; poverty and power it melts them like ice. Fate - monstrous and empty, you whirling wheel, you are malevolent, well-being is vain and always fades to nothing, shadowed and veiled you plague me too; now through the game I bring my bare back to your villainy. Fate - in health and virtue - is against me, driven on and weighted down, always enslaved. So at this hour without delay pluck the vibrating strings; since Fate strikes down the strong man, everyone weep with me! Such is fortune, and such is the life of man.

My father is a singer at the local philharmonics, and he usually took me ad my sister to their concerts. Since childhood, I loved Carmina Burana, but didn't realise back then how great of a masterpiece this is. He said that these pieces of art are music at its finest. He also told us, that in order to enjoy these pieces, one must be mature enough to understand it, and for me, this was the day. Carl Orff is a genius.

I was once a tenor in a choir for a performance of Carmina Burana with the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra in 1997

[@kmerena]

I love posts like yours Christopher. Almost 60 years ago, as a young kid, I too sang Carmina Burana as a bass with a very very competent choir under the direction of Anthony Taglino. Because Mr. Taglino was a well-respected graduate of The New England Conservatory of Music and because we were from a very upscale community in Roslyn, N.Y., not to mention that Mr. Taglino was super well connected, our tenor soloists were Jan Pierce and Robert Merrill from The N.Y. Metropolitan Opera. Our soprano soloist was Susan Belink (that is her real name. Her dad was a Cantor in one of our local Jewish Temples) Her stage name as a soprano diva in Europe was something I can't even remember. This experience was my first introduction to singing and classical music and it led to a richer appreciation of music from that time forward

There is nothing -- and I mean NOTHING! More moving and satisfying than being fortunate enough to sing with a choir like this! My first experience with singing in a choir like this, was in the high school chorale. I took the course because I liked to sing and thought it would be an easy grade. The first piece I learned was Mozart's 'Ave Verum'. I never knew such sublime music existed! My first experience in a choir accompanied by an orchestra, was with the West Florida Music Festival Chorus. We performed Brahm's Requiem, under the direction of then New Orleans' Symphony conductor Phillipe Entremont. The music, like this, envelopes you and I often struggled to control tears. I'm afraid the current generation is missing out.

Music unites the world! I happen to live in Oberbayern (Upper Bavaria, Germany) and was lucky enough to be part of a choir that performed this piece in ... Benediktbeuern, of all places, where the actual medieval texts were found that became the lyrics of this piece. We performed at the former Benediktbeuern Monastery in the Meierhof (courtyard) yesterday, 24-Jul-2022. Though we did the version with two grand pianos, percussion, soloists and choir (not a full orchestra, set by one of his "disciples" and authorized by Carl Orff) it was a very exciting event - and I believe the audience liked it very much as well. It was with the cultural association "Klangkunst im Pfaffenwinkel" at Iffeldorf. Iffeldorf is just a couple towns over from Benediktbeuern. Always a stunning experience, this piece - and maybe the location made the event even more special. Whatever the music you like - keep singing on and on - until the cows come home!

In 1968, I was the first chair flutist at the Macomb County Community College Band in Warren, Michigan USA. Our band was not the traditional college band. We challenged ourselves to bring a wide variety of music to our college and the public Two events that we performed that sticks out as a huge endeavor was to perform for President Richard Nixon at the Universal Mall in Warren, Michigan and a onetime only performance sans choir of Carmina Burana. With the President, it was one of his reelection campaign stops. Our band being available was asked to perform during the lulls that can occur during a large and long presidential campaign. The director and our group put our heads together, we were not going to play any John Phillip Sousa songs or any patriotic music that is probably heard everywhere. We thought we were the only group providing the music. Nixon enters with the Redford high school marching band john Phillip Sousing it up. Thy arched in and then, I think, marched out. What an entrance. With our group of 25 musicians, we [played in the back corner farthest away from anyone and we played our carefully chosen songs. Suddenly without notice, President Nixon had got off his podium, walked through the crown and appeared at my side, looking at our band director. We froze in terror; did we do something wrong? Nixon looked at us and said, “You are not playing for the President of the United States! You are playing for me. Mr. Nixon was a classic pianist and we had chosen to perform his favorite composers for his entertainment. My jaw dropped, he said that what we did for him, he will never forget. It was one of the most precious and thoughtful music that endeared him to our band. And then he looked at us and smiled! He used to have the nickname Tricky Dick and here he was Tricky Dick. smiling at us from ear to ear. Our next musical event was a public performance of Carmina Burana. We had no college choir to sing the German lyrics, so we worked many hours to bring this s hour plus performance. I had a flute solo that lasted about 20 measures and it was the hardest piece of music I ever played since I never really had flute lessons but learned by ear even when I played in high school. Watching and hearing this version brought me to tears. I am 73 years old, and I can remember to this day when we finished the last note and stood up, the audience was dead silent. After an hour and about 10 minutes of playing our hearts out, our audience had no idea how to react to this marvelous piece. They never clapped, dead silence as we walked off stage. I loved every measure of Carmina no matter how crazy the music was written in the strangest tempo I have ever seen and the time I had to take to practice, practice, and practice to do our best. Years later, I will perform at Gettysburg and in front of the White House of President Jimmy Carter (he is in hospice and in my prayers) as I continued my musical experiences in a Michigan Civil war band around our great state of Michigan and just for fun. Carmina Burana was to me my greatest honor as a musician to perform and I totally understand the depth of love that for the choir members and instrumentalists who have also experienced performing this piece. As soon as the first notes were played, I was in tears of the happy memories being a musician, my love to all of you especially my fellow musicians who experienced this one-of-a-kind event in the Love for Music. Love from the United States. John (I apologize that my comment was as long as Carmina Burana, please forgive my enthusiasm.) ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

It's actually an oratorio rather than a symphony but yes, it is spectacular. A symphony usually does not have singing. An oratorio also differs from an opera in that there is no story that's acted out on stage, such as you would see in Carmen or Tosca, it is only sung and not acted, even though the singing is operatic.

I have to say that I really enjoyed the solo male singer whose voice was exuberantly deep and expressive. I do not know who enjoyed this more, me or him.

[@untergehermuc]

Tbh, they should be drunk for this drinking music. It sounds so epic, but it’s just Bavarian music for drinking alcohol. ;)

[@GunBrothersGaming]

As a former choral singer - this was by far one of my favorite pieces to perform.

[@WackyPack1967]

This piece has left the biggest musical impression on me. The first time I heard it, I was three and a half years old. I had just been tucked into my bed and did not have a night light in my room. My father gently put the needle to vinyl, and my imagination went into overdrive as I heard the ominous intro permeate the pitch black of my bedroom from the living room below me. Half terrified, and half exhilarated, I listened to the whole performance that night. It's been a "go to" favorite since that evening in 1965!

This is magnificent! Carmina Burana touches the very soul. I have had the privilege of attending 3 concerts of Carmina Burana performed flawlessly by the Cleveland Orchestra, Choir and Children's Choir. Twice at Severance Hall and once at Blossom Music (outdoor theatre). Each time, I literally felt the music transporting me emotionally to another sense reality - it felt like the music came down from the stage... lifted me up out of my seat and moved me to a place of peace and beauty I have never experience at any other time in my long life. So fortunate to have youtube so that I can put in my earbuds, shut out the noise of the world and go where the music takes me...into a peaceful moment in time.
