Language: Latin. Text from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff (1895-1982).
An interesting take on a section of text from the Carmina Burana. This setting uses modal harmonies, a haunting melodic line, and transfixing percussion to express the mysterious nature of the text. A fun work that will work well for younger choirs.
