Carl Orff - Gassenhauer

[@shepardsmith3235]

I heard it in Badlands and have been hooked ever since. The guy that scored that movie was a genius to put it in. It fit perfectly.

I just heard this wafting from a gentle chugging canal boat in Islington, London, during this brilliantly sunny, hot, day. The boat was full of young Spaniards waving and smiling, eating and drinking, and the moment was just *perfect*. It`s a beautiful piece.

The True Romance theme really did snake this melody....

And made it better

[@BeezusFafoon1971]

You're So Cool is a homage. Zimmer has always acknowledged this as the template for his piece.

I first came across this piece on the movie Finding Forester. Fell in love as Sean Connery is riding his bicycle to the music, awesome!!

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yep, RIP Sir Sean Connery

I grew up to this movie with my father and I’m sure I will come back to find this comment. I love you dad, I might not show it but I’m going to miss you when you’re gone. As a musician a lot of my music sounds whimsical like this, this is a song of freedom, just like William Forrester getting out of his cage. I hope I have the courage to get out of my cage

[@DesertRose1960]

I love this piece of music. It doesn't reduce me to tears, unless it tears of joy. It makes me feel like I'm bounding or galloping. It bubbles. I love how it was used in "Finding Forrester" as he rides off into the horizon.

[@Serai3]

This piece makes me want to dance. It carries hints of any number of folkloric styles, Andean and Central American in particular. To me it feels gentle, flirtatious, cheerful. It makes me think of sunlit spring festivals, smiles, ruffles flowing through air, green branches and rippling streams. A tune about the sweetness of life.

[@mauropierre6023]

I came across this beautiful work of art, at a unique moment in my life, where I had to decide to stay in the city for work or pursue a great love... today I'm with it, it's been a long 20 years🇧🇷

[@Maggi2oo7]

I really like this :) I'm german as Orff and for everyone who isn't familiar with our language a "Gassenhauer" is a word for a easy song sung or played on a street. Just to enjoy the audience for a short while. And I think that little piece achieves that. Orff was a music pedagogue and that song for sure made some kids happy again :)

[@dontwurry2842]

Well said

[@Asgairsson]

Gassenhauer = the alleyway smash hit, which tells it pretty well.

[@victor22vintido]

Many “well liked” coments about films (it’s ok), but that is the point. Orff was a great composer and pedagogue.

[@snorj11]

Most people know Carl Orff as a one hit wonder. He is far too underappreciated. This piece is glorious! It is beyond words!

[@Asgairsson]

as this one hit is another one than this, we already count two. O Fortuna!

O fortuna starts Carmina Burana, which is a very lighthearted medieval story collection, sort of a folksy sex ed comedy piece. Nothing to do with apocalypse, much more about the joy of good fucking.

The simplicity of it, the easiness of it, the way it travels from note to note with the flick of oil on tiles of glass. This piece of happiness and glory I have listened to all my adult life since I heard it on the film "Badlands", since then I have always let it into my heart and my soul by having all around the house and I hope everyone hears it too. This is my national anthem! Wow! It is me to a tee!

[@phoebecatgirl933]

Brings back memories of visiting my Aunt, Uncle and cousins near Cleveland OH in the 1970s when this was played on the radio each morning.

[@dcnatv]

Gassenhauer is probably my faviorite piece by Orff.. Our local classical music station in DC played it as the beginning of one of their segments. Gassenhauer is part of his Schulwerk, which is music for children. I think it's a brilliant piece for children. If you listen carefully, you hear a single note; then additional notes are added until the entire orchestra is playing. I attend performances of Carmina Burana every time it's performed at the Kennedy Center here in DC... I will never tire of it.

"Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler is a short piece from Orff Schulwerk, developed during the 1920s by Carl Orff with long-time collaborator Gunild Keetman. It is an arrangement of a much older work for lute by the lutenist Hans Neusidler from 1536. It (along with several other Orff Schulwerk pieces) is credited to Keetman on a 1995 release of the Schulwerk."
