Majestic, mysterious, and rousing - the main qualities of Carmina Burana, the greatest piece of rock and roll ever written for chorus and orchestra.  The poems are from the 13th century, celebrating earthy pleasures with a cynical bent–rock lyrics if ever there were any–written by young men about to take monastic vows of poverty, chastity and obedience! Carl Orff’s robust and well-known music makes a crowning moment for a May Festival.
