Flashmob Carmina Burana

SolistInnen, Chor, Orchester der Volksoper Wien boten im April Fahrgästen und Passanten eine besondere Performance. Die KünstlerInnen lösten sich aus der Menschenmenge - eine "Passantin" begann, weitere "PassantInnen" - sowie als ÖBB-MitarbeiterInnen verkleidete KünstlerInnen - setzten nach und nach ein.:

[@y.u.doodat9133]

Flash mobs are one of the rare evolutionary social movements of the 2000s that are totally healing, and always a net positive for society. They bring us together, completely, for a precious few heavenly moments. They lift us out of the maelstrom, up above the clouds of anxiety where we can peer, for a brief moment, into the infinite distance of joy. This brought back a lot of memories for me, because I sang in the chorus of Carmina Burana when I was in high school in the ‘70s.

[@Baribrotzer]

".....Flash mobs are one of the rare evolutionary social movements of the 2000s that are totally healing, and always a net positive for society....." MUSICAL flashmobs, yes, definitely. But there are also criminal flashmobs coordinated by cellphones, in which a whole neighborhood of bad kids go into one store - then all shoplift stuff, run out simultaneously, and beat up anyone who tries to stop them. Those are not positive. Not at all.

When I saw "Flashmob Carmina Burana", I thought, "A flashmob singing 'O Fortuna'......cool!!!" At 2:15......the tympanist hits that drum, that immortal 'D' note.........AND IT BEGINS!!!! I was NOT disappointed!!!

[@phthartic]

I kinda missed the bass drum and gong. But that might have given a few heart attacks in this situation. I even thought the tympanist was holding back a bit to avoid overwhelming a 'lay' audience with the massive percussivosity of his regular performance level.

[@kathypiazza7228]

I truly hope that the events return once Covid is declared no longer a pandemic. The years we’ve spent worried, unable to fully participate in large groups, have had a toll on many. Flash mobs have many benefits for the groups (often young talented musicians who learn precision & additional timing, from this style & get exposure to performing for large crowds, the hours planning & rehearsing build cooperation, highlight some but usually all the performers, building trust & I imagine they are fun & then exciting & satisfactions of a job well done & much more I am sure). The film crew, the editors who often also are young & learning are gaining great experiences. Rarely do members of the public not stop to witness some or all of the performance - reminding us to take time to enjoy life amid the hustle & bustle. The joy is always evident. Often voices join in or people dance. Over all a very positive experience, all round. Can you tell that I am a huge fan? This mob was exceptional, thanks for sharing their performance with the world.

[@phthartic]

Agree with other commenters. Unfortunately I stopped performing a couple of years before the advent of flashmobs, but I so wish I could participate as either performer or audience in one of these. In our "community band" we once or twice invited audience members to sit inside the group to experience the music from our perspective and everyone seemed to love it. I doubt any of the performers in this video felt "selfless" in the least. It is a great feeling to show people, especially kids, the feelings of power and satisfaction derived from performing a piece like this on real live wind and percussion instruments, not synthesizers, drum machines and autotuned voices.

How absolutely fantastic! The practice it must have taken to coordinate everyone- the orchestra, singers, dancers, & the confetti... WOW, JUST WOW, BRAVO! I love that the 3 original singers ended up standing back-to-back. Fabulous. I had to come back to this video. I'm an avid concertgoer who knows the formality of seeing & hearing a concert in a symphony hall, so this is very different. I could not imagine going somewhere to do errands or getting on a plane or train, & all of a sudden random people in the crowd started to play instruments, sing, & dance. It would be extraordinary. I would gladly miss my plane or train to witness a performance such as this. Again, Bravo Everyone, Multi Bravo!

The name of the first song is Amor Volat Undique, and the second is O Fortuna.

[@phthartic]

Not to nitpick but... And I could be wrong, not being a vocalist... But I don't think they're songs. They're sections or movements of a secular oratorio. But yeah, I know the whole setting is a bunch of people in a tavern singing songs; many of them drunken songs. So while I shudder violently every time someone comments "yeah dude, we're totally playing this song in band" when referring to a piece of classical/serious music, if one can ever be forgiven for calling a piece of serious music a song, I suppose this is the occasion.

I listen to the whole, entire work with my eyes closed, and it never gets old. Thank you! For those who don't know, this is only the first, opening movement of an entire composition by Carl Orff, titled Carmina Burana. If you liked this you really should hear the REST of it!!!!

[@LarryAt27N]

It is also the final movement, which follows the sopranos' piece. There's one brief movement in between, a solo soprano, but most people won't notice.

[@cherylm2C6671]

Watch out for those lyrics, though.

[@rosiefay7283]

It's part (roughly the second half) of movement 15 Amor volat undique, followed by part (the intro and the last of the three verses) of O Fortuna. As has been stated, O Fortuna is both the first movement and the last (25th). I'm not sure what "brief movement in between" Larry was thinking of -- perhaps 23 Dulcissime? At any rate there are nine movements in between, not just one.

I come back to this video every time I need an energy boost! How lucky they were to have such a magnificent presentation in a random day.

I just don't know what to say. Never listened to this piece of music. What was I missing? OMG, it's just beautiful. Adjectives can't express how I feel about this. Love it.

+Charles Rosenburg If you have never heard Carmina Burana before, I hope you have made up for it now. I have been listening to it for more than half my life. Wonderful! If you're looking for the best version, and there are a lot, try the Deutsche Grammophon version with Dietrich Fischer-Diskau singing baritone. The best by far in my humble opinion.

+Charles Rosenburg This was sort of a medley of the overall work of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, his version an expansion on the earlier religious texts and poems by the same name. Where the timpani hits and they belt it out is O Fortuna (Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi) [Oh, Fortune (Fortune, Ruler of the World)]. The version they sang here is a mix of all three verses and goes: O Fortuna Velut luna Statu variabilis [...] Sors immanis et inanis [...] michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite! O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable. [...] Fate - monstrous and empty [...] and virtue, 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!

Thank you. this was certainly an attention grabber. Must give time to listen to the entire piece.

+Charles Rosenburg It's a well-known piece of oratorio. My favorite use of it is in the 1981 Arthurian epic film EXCALIBUR, directed by John Boorman. They use it during the knights' quest for the Holy Grail.

Це гарно. Це треба робити. Треба знайомити людей з гарною музикою.
