Has anyone heard Orff's piece Kleine Konzert? I wish someone would post that on youtube if they have the recording.

Everything originates from someplace else. It seems "American Beauty" soundtrack owes a lot to Orff,  so does Philip Glass for some of  his work.

Can you tell me in which book these pieces are from ? Sounds like volume 4 ? Irregular metric

[gonzaguemontaigne]

It reminds me, in a way, some parts of Ma Mère l'Oye by Maurice Ravel.

[XMmountainman]

do you know each of the pieces individual names? :D

Risky Business- watering the grass scene?

Orff must have had an influence on Philip Glass, don't you think?
