O Fortuna Carmina Burana [German cantata]

Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff in 1935 and 1936, based on 24 poems from 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 magical images"). It is part of Trionfi, a musical triptych that includes Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. The first and last movements of the piece are called "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" ("Fortune, Empress of the World") and start with the very well known "O Fortuna".

O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis
semper crescis
aut decrescis
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem,
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem.
Sors immanis
et inanis,
rota tu volubilis
status malus
vana salus
semper dissolubilis
Obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite
quod per sortem
sternit fortem
mecum omnes plangite

I will have holidays from today on and meet some friends and do daily tours. But I prepared my channel. There will be automated uploads every day around noon for 1 week, so u have at least one song per day :)

Have a nice summer, and sorry if I can´t reply to all comments for a week!

One of my favorite piece of music ever written that’s totally fantastic !

[dyxifltline]

I first experienced this when I was 9 watching Excalibur the scene when Arthur rides again and the land heals was so powerful and eye opening that I remember it as one of those formative events.

If this doesn't play during the apocalypse, I ain't dying 🤷‍♀️

I translated the lyrics to english then modified the words to align rhythmically with this piece. I hope people will like it.
O fortuna
Like the moon tide
Constant unrelenting change
Ever waxing
Ever waning
A life of fickle fortune
It pains, then soothes
From wealth and want
Insanity engulfs me

This monstrous fate
This gulf between
Creating constant wanting
Seek health in vain
It comes to nought
A never ending echo
You are a scourge
Invincible
The ending is predestined

My enemy
Fights me in health
Plagues me in seeking virtue
It drives me on
But weighes me down
A life in crushing bondage

So, at this hour
Do not delay
To play my song of sorrow
Indifferent fate
Strikes down the strong
Immutable
Unchanging
I bring my back
Bare and exposed
Prone to your villainy
This song rings out
For all to hear
To weep with me on this night
Tonight.

The Latin Teacher when you translate a sentence using the Ablative plural instead of the Dative plural (you have caused irreparable harm to the meaning of the sentence and he will now call the entire class to a halt while he interrogates you until you realize your mistake)

What everyone gets wrong is this is a love song to the goddess of fortune.

It was composed in 1936. When you think about it, it's a perfect song to describe what was about to happen the following years. The unimaginable horror that was getting closer and closer.

Fabulous tune. I seem to recall "Old Spice" for some reason... cannot imagine why... - perhaps I am getting old.

[ultimathule]

Bäuerliche Liedsammlung grandios! Habe da immer Tränen in den Augen ein Meisterwerk ohne Gleichen.

[NP-zdzn]

The Latin lyrics speak of luck in the hands of fate! As fickle as the faces of the moon!!

[JUNGLESTRIKEOFDOOM]

My first introduction to this was watching the young Indiana jones chronicles on cable tv; it was set against him in the battle of verdun. It paints itself well against apocalyptic scenes.
