Carmina Burana - I. O Fortuna (w/ English subtitles)

[@AidanGunn]

I looked up "that one dramatic song" and found it, the internet is amazing

[@pavel036]

i looked up "dramatic opera song" lmao

[@RepcoSovereign]

"Dramatic latin choir" was what I searched for

[@ravenmeadows7350]

[@Nagoragama]

Knowing what the words mean makes me giggle whenever its used in advertising. "Buy our product, don't buy our product, it doesn't matter, all are subject to the whims of monstrous Fate!"

[@hads5279]

I got to perform Carmina Burana during my junior year for choir. Both the high schools in my town got their choirs, orchestras and bands together and after 3 months of practise we put on a performance around Christmas time. We even had students from the university choir do the solos. It was incredible! I got to be a first soprano and hit notes is never attempted before. It was really challenging.

[@augustopoliche8908]

most epic song of all times for me

[@AlamdaABalqhin]

This music is about 80 years old, composed in the 3rd Reich. The lyrics, though are from the middle ages.

[@mahirkulkarni8538]

[@dragutintheslav-veliki790]

Why do the songs like these get forgotten by the whole world??

[@benedictDover]

Apparently forgotten = 2.8M views and constantly being used in adverts and other videos.

[@dragutintheslav-veliki790]

Zach Sexton well it is compared to the views of Miley Cryus 23 song

[@benedictDover]

+Dragutin aka Cheeki Breeki- Veliki Well yeah, that's a more recent song that gets heavily advertised, this is an INCREDIBLY old song that came out in the 13th century, of course less people know about it, it's impressive that it's legacy has lasted this long if anything

[@benedictDover]

+Zach Sexton *legacy, fucking hell, why can't I edit my posts on mobile?

This one time, a couple of my friends and I were playing Connect Four at a Rita's. We were listening to an opera playlist, everyone was so calm until this came on. When it got to 1:49 it was the most intense game of Connect Four I've ever seen.

[@EddieMillerStudios]

I'll bet

[@samwallaceart288]

I had no idea the lyrics were this awesome. Folks who don't speak the language (me included) have seriously been missing out.

This song describes the world, happens to it, in it, and how it started. Truly Epic.

[@MrJobelp]

This Is the most incredible song I have ever heard in my life.

[@GauravSharma-xh7nw]

The goosebumps I get are directly proportional to the tempo of this masterpiece.. Really powerful!!

[@rflcanela]

OMG!! FINALLY read the beautiful words of this song that has enchanted me since i first heard it!!!! WOW! One of the best lyrics, EVER!! Melancholia is best sweet to awesome voices, powerful music by a Great Master!! Thank you!!!!

[@PANDORASBOXRELEASE]

Im inspired to learn latin now

[@Restilia_ch]

Auntiewhnor Kpolie Spanish, French, and Italian actually. They're all decended from Latin, while English is a Germanic language with totally separate roots. Latic has heavily influenced all the European languages other than Slavic, so known any of those is better than starting from, say, Chinese or Russian.

[@Donutswithlazerz]

+otakumage While English did descend from a Germanic, there are still Latin roots in English... Although I don't know why the previous replies mentioned that because the 1st comment seemed to be speaking English...

[@Amridell]

Donutswithlazerz Rather, the reason people think English is descended from Latin is from French influence, which, as mentioned, is a Latin language. So there's a lot of Latin rooted words we borrowed from French, Spanish, Italian, etc. And then actual Latin words we incorporate.

[@TheReLictors]

Donutswithlazerz Also Greek roots are common as well, certainly in science and mathematics

[@xristoslazaridis5736]

Me too!!!! Unfortunately, here in Greece, I can't find anyone to teach me

[@juless3568]

Finally been guided to appreciate Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. An encouragement to learn and relearn Latin. Early stages and looking forward to appreciate this at a high culture level.

[@juless3568]

Thank you for your 👍. You have encouraged me to keep up with Latin. Latin is still worh learning.

[@yosuto]

I typed in dramatic choir music to find this

[@sanny9530]

It’s a choir and an orchestra lol

[@flabioarbizu4253]

After seeing the misheard version of this song this will never be the same ever again.

[@steen_24]

How does one add so much fire into notes... Amazing emotions... Did you know that Carmina Burana is based upon 24 poems from the 12th century... And when he presented the piece in 1937 he said... Everything I have written to date, and which you have, unfortunately, printed, can be destroyed. With Carmina Burana, my collected works begin... Awesome, dark, even the nazi regime didnt know how to react to this new emotion, the dark erotic undertones...

[@OroborusFMA]

Steen Graugaard Larsen As the Nazis loved Wagner this wouldn't have been very big leap for them.

[@arsalans.6127]

It's emo with calculated accuracy of diction, and calculation can make literally anything seem, nay, BE more important.

[@34103070674978532046]

[@samwallaceart288]

THE PERFECT VERSION OF O FORTUNA!! Powerful, Riveting, and quite tyrannical! I feel empowered by this song with excitement and anger. The virtuosity of this song is endeavoring and quite epic! You can even feel the angst while looking at the lyrics! I love this song!!

[@abalada]

In 2011 800.000 pupils in Germany had Latin in school. Approx. 9% of all pupils and nearly 50% of the ones visiting a Gymnasium (academic high school - the normal route to university in Germany). At the time when these texts (not the music) were written down, Latin was in Germany the teaching language used at universities and the language of the high administration. Important documents of this time are all in Latin.

[@rickbunte3147]

Good grief. Everyone in the 1% club is way too rich and powerful - and way too busy staying rich and powerful - to bother forming any stupid conspiracy about anything. They snap their fingers and tax laws are changed to favor them, existing laws that might rein in their excesses are not enforced, and the employee class is manipulated by Ruper Murdoch and his colleagues to focus on reality television instead of organizing and taking power. Don't waste your time looking for conspiracies; spend your time organizing and working to change and enforce progressive tax laws.

[@Blake13thSeraphin]

I love this song, but I must say a couple of things: the translation is not accurate and the words with "-ci-" are being mispronounced by London Symphony Orchestra. I hope this doesn't seem pedantic, it's just that I'm a little perfectionist.

[@BewareOfTheKraut]

+Blake Seraphin Right you are. My favourite is the 1988 version by "Eugen Jochum" and the "Chor und Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin" with "Gundula Janowitz", "Gerhard Stolze" and "Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau".

[@Blake13thSeraphin]

[@SimonRaahauge1973]

Everything sounds better in Latin!

[@wiel5908]

you are a roman so

[@Tozzie50]

We translated this song with latin and my teacher said it was just about someone who had lost all his money (even his clothes) on gambling, just sung with fancy words.

[@EmmanuelGoldsteinINGSOC]

That's a little too simplified... WAY too simplified actually. If you understand even the slightest bit of Latin then you know that the English translation is very inacurate and that it DOES have deeper meaning than what you just said.

[@Tozzie50]

Emmanuel Goldstein All I have learned is that latin shouldn't be taken too seriously, as many words were often misspelled and that was the way everyone talked. And yes, it might be wrong, but we don't spend the entire class discovering the deeper meaning of such a thing, there's more important things to learn (like grammar and words). I often try to find the deeper meaning behind things like movies, stories and poems, but not an ancient latin poem as it isn't sure that that deeper meaning is hiding behind it.

[@Tozzie50]

Emmanuel Goldstein But can you still tell me the deeper meaning, just as proof? :)

[@EmmanuelGoldsteinINGSOC]

Tosca Greenwood You are an American aren't you? I am saying that because what you are saying mainly applies to Americans. Anyway, you should READ the Carmina Burana - since it is a book and not a song after all and it isn't entirely in Latin - it is mainly in German and was written by Germans. And Germans don't have an issue with correctly pronouncing Latin, cause the pronounciation in German and Latin is exactly the same.

[@Tozzie50]

Emmanuel Goldstein No, I'm not an American, I'm from Holland. And it's a little rude to immediately assume a person is from a certain country, regardless of what country it is. I'm not going to read the carmina burana. Why, you ask? Well, I'm a teenage student who doesn't give a fuck. Sorry, had to get that out there. Also, I knew it was a book, I knew it wasn't a song, I knew who made this dramatic version of it because my teacher explained that to me and in my previous comment it was clear I was talking about a poem. I don't get that last sentence, what does that have to do with anything?

[@istokulchar4705]

Who can dislike this?!

[@YourAverageTheatreKid]

This is honestly a cool piece to learn. I'm glad to have performed this with my university choir and to be learning the rest of the songs in Carmina Burana. O Fortuna was apparently played during half time during the Super Bowl which is honestly impressive.
