Crows Feet is using the recording by Andre Previn and the Vienna Philharmonic. The orchestration of Carmina Burana is ideal for dance as melodies and harmonies combine with heavy rhythmic percussion to give the music a primeval and visceral character. The first part, Primo Vere (In Early Spring) presents youthful, energetic dances the second part, In Taberna (In the Tavern), evokes drunken feasting and debauchery and courtship and romantic love are the subject of the third part, Cour d’Amours (Court of Love). Orff selected 24 songs, which he arranged inot a prologue, an epilogue, and three parts of roughly equal length. Dubbed the C armina Burana (Songs of Beuern) by the German philologist Johann Andreas Schmeller, the texts present a varied view of medieval life, including religious verses, social satires and bawdy drinking songs. Orff drew his text from a 13th century manuscript containing songs and plays written in Latin and medieval German, which was discovered in 1803 at the Bavarian monastery of Benediktbeuern. Crows Feet Dance Collective is presenting a danced version of Carmina Burana on SEPTEMBER 5TH at the Globe Theatre in Palmerston North, Saturday November 13th at Te Raukura, Paraparaumu and the following weekend at Te Whaea in Wellington,Ĭarmina Burana is a cantata for orchestra, chorus and vocal soloists by the German composer Carl Orff that premiered in 1937 in Frankfurt, Germany.
