EXTD=Carl Orff (1895-1982)\nLondon Symphony Orchetra & Chorus conducted by Richard Hickox.\n* Penelope Walmsley-Clarke: Soprano\n* John Graham-Hall: tenor\n* Donald Maxwell: baritone\nThe Southend Boy's Chior, director Michael Crabb\nProduced by John Boy
EXTD=den Associates.\nEngineer: Michael Sheady.\n\nFor his texts Orff took 25 verses from a collection of 13th century poems discovered in the early 19th century in the abbey of Benediktbeuren near Munich, his native city. Carmina Burana in Latin means S
EXTD=ongs of Beuren.\nVariously written by itinerant scholars in Low Latin and early German, the poems mingle Christian piety and pagan hedonism in a spirit of simplicity and unselfconscious directness which were intrinsic in the medieval approach to mor
EXTD=tality. They amount to an uninhibited celebration of the pleasures of life and, particulary, love. Bed and bawdiness figure strongly in them.\nThe work is divided into three parts under the titles of "Spring" (Promo Vera tracks 3-5), "In the Tavern"
EXTD= (In Taberna 11-14, Uf dem Anger 6-10), and "Love" (Cour D'Amours 15-23). YEAR: 1987
EXTT0=In praise of Fortune giving voice to the fickleness of fate and fortune and inviting only the most welcome of each to preside over proceedings.
EXTT1=The ups and downs of fortune.
EXTT2=Offering a primal welcome to the arrival of Spring.
EXTT3=Particularises the essence of the season in a baritone solo extolling its life-giving force of love, or sex.
EXTT4=Conversly and setting up a wily contrast, depicts how sad springtime can be without the opportunity of love and urges the "have nots" to rectify the matter.
EXTT5=A dance scored with infections vitality ...
EXTT6=... and contrasted by a soprano solo in which a girl laments the loss of her lover.
EXTT7=Brings back the chorus to rejoice in the pleasures of nature and love while ...
EXTT8=... extending the fervour, infiltrates a winsome invitation to love.
EXTT9=The mood casts off any lurking inhibitions by proposing at lustful fantasy "to hold in my arms the fair Queen of England" (fortuitously unidenfifiable thanks to the variable period of the poems' origins!)
EXTT10=Launches The Taverns section with a predictable salute to the efficady of the bottle and the flagon and the baritone musing on the personal use he has put them to.
EXTT11=Brings the tenor, singing falsetto, with the Song of the Roasting Swan.
EXTT12=The baritone takes up the tale of the inveterate gambler.
EXTT13=Concludes the section with a hym to the benificial amenities and well-being of the tavern.
EXTT14=The work's longest section is dedicated to Love.\nThe soprano stikes the keynote with her contention that to be without a lover is rotten luck, the female voices nodding their agreement in chorus.
EXTT15=Is in the nature of a corresponding ''cri de coeur'' from the baritone whose object of desire is indefferent to his suit.
EXTT16=As though taunting him, the soprano returns to fan the libido with a description of a tempting young thing who looks like a rosebud and wears a red skirt.
EXTT17=Evocative of the yearning one feels for a lover, and, on the assumption that such desires have been fulfilled.
EXTT18=Celebrates the fun to be had in bed, particulary when modest scruples have been flung off with the clothing.
EXTT19=The natural consequence is a fevered exhortation to surrender to the ecstasies of love-making ...
EXTT20=... quickly supplanted by capitulation, though not before a token moral conflict between chastity and desire has heightened the suspense.
EXTT21=Serving almost as an interlude - a recapitulation of all that has gone before.
EXTT22=... the onset of spring, the rising of the sap, the boiling over of emotions ...
EXTT23=... after the hibernation of Winter.
EXTT24=In praise of Fortune giving voice to the fickleness of fate and fortune and inviting only the most welcome of each to preside over proceedings.
