My mother was a music teacher in the Orff Schulwerk tradition--I am *extremely* well-acquainted with his love of, and demanding requirements of, percussion instruments. Felt like I was constantly surrounded by all sort of percussion instruments as a kid. Glad to see the Burana percussion parts live up to that.

I played carmina burana my senior year 10 years ago, and because of how many percussionists we had, I played the piano, and played the chimes during the 13th and 14th movement. It was so much fun, just wish I was 1st chair percussion on timpani. I was 2nd chair though I believe

I also love the version for two pianos and percussion. I wish that was performed more often.

My respects Bro, excellent job

The time signatures got me like 😵‍💫

[@gunnarkilborn3915]

Yeah, when I played Carmina Burana it was the most difficult thing to manage, on some parts I went more of feeling for when my entry was because I couldn't count the rest properly. Particularly movement 18 because of all the weird time signatures in that one.

Other than the tanz it’s pretty easy to follow the conductor (at least compared to Stravinsky etc.). For some of the 6/2 or 8/2 bars I’d end up writing which beat I entered on the first time I played the piece, but the entrances make sense once you know the tunes (and you usually get 2 or 3 shots at each w/ the repeats if you miss it the first time)

bravo!

You are a bit of bit.

[@triangleboy5798]

Not sure what this means, but so true!
