It is based on 24 of the poems found in the medieval collection Carmina Burana. Its full Latin title is Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanæ cantoribus et choris cantandæ comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis (Songs of Beuern: Secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images.) Carmina Burana is part of Trionfi, the musical triptych that also includes the cantata Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. The first and last movements are called "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" and start with the very well known "O Fortuna".<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Burana_%28Orff%29" target="_blank"><i>Carmina Burana (Orff)-Wikipedia</i></a><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/n-DgS75lfmw?rel=0" width="640"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Carl Orff</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Carmina Burana lyrics</span><br /><br />O Fortuna (O Fortune)<br />Velut luna (like the moon)<br />Statu variabilis (you are changeable)<br />Semper crescis (ever waxing)<br />Aut decrescis; (and waning;)<br />Vita detestabilis (hateful life)<br />Nunc obdurat (first oppresses)<br />Et tunc curat (and then soothes)<br />Ludo mentis aciem, (as fancy takes it)<br />Egestatem, (poverty)<br />Potestatem (and power)<br />Dissolvit ut glaciem.
