Let's get Thomas up to 77k, he deserves it, his content is unmatched on youtube!

Then onto 100,000.

THOMAS! This scintillating section always manages to perk up the hairs on my neck and arms! THANK YOU for dissecting the deceptively simple orchestration for us to study and admire! Thanks to you could never be enough for me to express my delight! ♥♥♥♥

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Ah Enrique, you are truly a superfan as well as an intelligent and sensitive soul. Your feedback is always on point. Thank you so much for being there all through these often confusing times.

Thank you so much for this lesson! I hate Carmina Burana with a burning passion, but there is absolutely a lot to learn from it.

[@shosty6733]

If you don’t mind sharing, why do you hate it?

[@herveorus7432]

Hi Thomas, an other door opened to a new antic world ! So Cool ! Thanks a lot !!!!

[@matOpera]

Thank you for doing this. Your observations are exceptionally valuable. I sang this piece in high school, and I must admit, it is not my favorite artistically or textually, but there is indubitably a lot to learn from Orff’s compositional techniques. And your analysis of them gives us a second layer of a seasoned composer’s experience to learn from.

I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series. Never heard this work before and I’m enchanted by it. Thank you Thomas!

[@alexchristodoulou]

Just priceless, thank you so much. Not sure how we can help getting the channel more subs, but I hope it gets there soon!

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Thanks a bunch, Alex! Maybe share this vid around? Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback, and I'm desperately looking forward to starting the series now after so much great energy in the comments. Maybe I could preview more chapters on Patreon...

[@ricucci-hillmusic]

Earned my subscription! I'd love a full dive into this piece, a long-time favorite of mine.

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Great to hear it! I'll have to do the series now...🙂

[@Hudson_Holland]

I would love to see this series! This was an excellent video very inspiring to see how simple orchestration can often be the more beautiful and effective than complicated textures and ornamentation. I hope you get enough subscribers!

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Thanks heaps for your kind comment. I'm just itching to rip through all of these songs right now. I might even just start producing some in advance, I feel so impatient to get to work on it. At least the videos would be ready if my subs suddenly notched up.

[@Hudson_Holland]

​@@OrchestrationOnlineIm so excited for them. Ive never actually listened to all the songs so thats something I will do in the meantime. Thanks for motivating me to listen to them :)

[@Adam.Anderson.Composer]

Bene! Plūrimum mē laetitiae affert hunc canālem invēnisse! ❤❤❤

[@ridwancoding5646]

I really hope these get made. Will the series be as graphical as this demo?

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Absolutely. That's my current standard.

[@johnopalko5223]

I'm really looking forward to your series on _Carmina Burana._ I've loved this work since I was a teenager and I finally had the pleasure of performing it on two separate occasions. Now I need to find recordings of the final two works in the trilogy, _Catulli Carmina,_ and _Trionfo di Afrodite._

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Thanks John, I'm also really looking forward to digging in. I think you can find those recordings on KZbin. Interestingly, Catulli is pretty modernistic in its harmony and very stripped-down in its sound picture; while Afrodite is a very laid-back work. It reminds me somehow of Also Sprach Zarathustra - a huge beginning, but then the rest of the piece is somewhat lyrical and thoughtful rather than grandiose. So Carmina Burana would be the titanic introduction to the very sparse Catulli Carmina and the gentler Trionfo di Afrodite.

[@johnopalko5223]

@@OrchestrationOnline Thank you, Thomas. I will see if I can find them and give them a listen. I know "Also Spruce Zarathustra" was either a typo or a case of DYAC (damn you, autocorrect) but it raises the interesting image of Richard Strauss writing a tone poem about loggers in the Pacific Northwest. 😀 Yes, this is how my brain works, alas.

[@Jokertyf]

i can't help but hear inklings of a dies irae quote in the wind/celeste part at the end of each verse. Do you think that was intentional?

[@OrchestrationOnline]

It does have the same pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

[@seba4053]

This part of Carmina Burana is very important in italy: in Pierpaolo Pasolini's movie "Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma", was used as soundtrack in one of the most important scenes of the cinema. At the end of the film.

[@frankdrebinn]

"Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus"

[@jersmith1486]

why does piccolo use ledger lines like that? It will always be up there.

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Not sure what you mean - if you're talking about the first 3 bars, that's actually sounding an octave higher. Since pro flute players don't usually like reading 8va lines that much, those high ledger lines are fine.

[@misi1979]

Let's make this happen...I-m already a subscriber....probably I need to make another few accounts for this:)

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Haha, that's one way of solving the problem! 😄 Seriously though, if you could help me spread the word, then that would be even better!
