Is it weird I like this one more then O Fortuna?

This reminds everyone to prepare for the worst and expect the unexpected.

Hearing this choir sing it just cements how bad my high school choir was. Then again, it was high school after all.

This LSO arrangement is my favorite version of CB by far and this segment especially captures the hurricane of passions you suffer when your life's happiness is ripped away unexpectedly.

I had the pleasure of singing this back in 2014 with the Missouri Southern Symphonic Chorus & Orchestra, conducted by Dr. David Sharlow. He didn't have the orchestra speed up the tempo like the orchestra is doing here, but it was still fun to sing. I walked away that day feeling that it was the greatest thing I ever did in my life...until we topped that in 2018 with Beethoven's 9th Symphony, and again this year in 2022, with Handel's Messiah.

Rip First Clarinet, 1937 - present

We sang this at the royal albert hall it was the best

Excellent artistic interpretation. I think of different meanings too when I hear this and other music which touches the heart and stirs the soul.

Man... I feel so connected to the lyrics of this song right now...

i love the instrumental parts so much

I love this music it is beautiful :)

Kian sabe.

Дословный (насколько это возможно) перевод латинского текста:1. Судьбы оплакиваю раны (т.е. "раны, нанесенные Судьбой"), наполненными слезами очами, ибо свои мне дары (т.е. "которые она мне дарила"), (она) отнимает, мятежная. Истинно есть, что читается (т.е. "то что написано"), (о том, что её) чело покрыто кудрями, но большей частью следует, что (она) оказывается лысой.2. На троне Судьбы (я когда-то) сидел, вознесенный, процветания разным цветением увенчанный (т.е. "имел на голове венок из разных цветов благополучия"). И вот так (я) процветал, счастливый и блаженный, ныне (же) с вершины (я) рухнул, лишенный (всей свой) славы.3)Судьбы колесо вращается, (я) спускаюсь умалённый (т.е. "лишившийся власти, богатства, славы" и пр.), другой в вышину возносится, чрезмерно возвысившийся. Царь сидит на вершине, да остережется (он) резкого падения! Ибо под осью (колеса) (мы) читаем -- "Царица Гекуба"*(*Намек на неизбежность погибели. Супруге троянского царя Приама, Гекубе, приснилось, что она родила горящий факел, от которого загорелся город, и этот сон предсказывал, что она родит сына, который станет причиной гибели Трои. Так и случилось. Ее сын Парис похитил жену спартанского царя Менелая Прекрасную Елену, что привело в итоге к походу ахейцев против Трои и ее разрушения.)

When I was in a lower part of my choir 2 years ago we sang Carmina Burana as the children's choir and after sing in O Fortuna with the adults we heard this and I just thought I want to sing this 2 years later hit puberty and am now baritone still got some years some kid in my choir can sing of the piano for the low side and he's just now in high school

Very cool

I know you posted this two years ago, but I couldn't agree more. This is BY FAR my favorite song from Carmina Burana,

We are playing this in my band and the flutes are supposed to have a serious wave of notes like that. It's the way the song was written.

when google translator doesn't works properly with {Latin > English}

Genius work and symphony

The CB does not tell a story like this. It is a collection of medievil poetry and songs (in mostly latin and some middle high german). Carl Orff has set 24 pieces from this collection to music. This cantata generally describes the ups and downs of life, but does not tell a story per se.

I am French qui est la pour la music 🎶 🎼 🎵

They played this in a TV spot for the BBC documentary series Walking with Beasts when it was being promoted back in 2001

The translation is indeed inaccurat, yet I have to say it's a great interpretation of the text.

This song amazing!

Magistral.

oh yyyyeahhh!!! (wicked wolfish grins) this is awesome.... thanks for posting..

POWERFUL!!!!

in my high school band 0:18 was my solo for trombone!!!!!!YAAAA...... I love this song

Гениальная музыка.

@ItsMovieTimeProd Fortuna was sometimes portrayed as a bald woman because oportunities are "hard to seize". Now you know, and knowing is half of the battle

Great now everyone on the train is looking at me

SO EPIC!

The instrumental is really good especially the trumpets

@jcouch5252 As far as I know, all of the lyrics Orff used are from the original Carmina Burana manuscript which contains texts from the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries.

In Classical Latin, the g is pronounced as in the French 'garçon'. The Latin that's usually used in music however is Church Latin, a Latin that has a simpler construction but also has different pronounciations. (More Italian sounds so to speak.) The g is then pronounced as in Giovanni. The harsher sounds in Classical Latin makes most people use Church Latin (Church Latin is easier to pronounce for those who speak English for example) and the Classic Latin tends to be forgotten which is a shame.

You have a very strong imagination...

Nice.

the sequel is better than the original

Let me know where you located for now at the Wheel of Fortune?

Story of my life T~T

Great addendum. =)

@wifimax1 so, did you? :D I simply listened to Skyrims' Theme again and again when it came out... Epic! XD

Dracula’s Musical Spooktacular

It's time for WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!

quintus discipulus est! :)

@acemeister666 You are not that far into latin, are you?

Anyone else come here from sick beats? That said it's lovely on its own, of course.

@violaris24 download video from youtube, cut it with movie maker and convert to .mp3 with any audio converter :) (there are a lot of tutorials on youtube how to download a video, i think)

@5B0YAKASHA5 One of the best things about these chants that you don't know what are they chant about. Latin language is so misterious. But okay, that's a great thing too when you can figure out the meaning of the texts. :)

we under the axe read about the queen Hecuba. I think that the english interpretation is slight incorrect...thnx

So is this and the first movement connected, besides talking about fate? I mean I kinda imagine a great kingdom falling to invaders in the first part and in this part I imagine the king of the fallen kingdom lamenting his situation in the underworld cursing the guy who lead the invasion.

The first movement tends to be overplayed and i like it, but I really love this one.

pareil, j'aime la chanter

horrible translation -- really!

@acemeister666 Nope, this is medieval Latin, there are a number of irregularities.

Interesting what version is correct "Legitur" or "Ledzhitur"? In different versions i hear two variants of pronunciation latin "G" sound.

How do musicians can follow this rythm?

what are those flutes doing at the end?

Was that supposed to mean "you do not understand"? I think it's "Non intellegis". What you just said means something like "You I do not to understand".

This is by far my favorite piece from the Carmina Burana, though O Fortuna is a pretty near second. My only real problem with O Fortuna is that half of the song is almost inaudible.

does anyone know where I can find the part from 0:49 - 0:58 alone?

Halloween Fun Is Cecil

i love how all the stuff he dows is in latin(:

1:07 flore CORONATUS

I read the words... Is this about Winston Churchill?

At 0:11, it should be mihi, not michi.

I once translated this to Japanese, now it's gone.

This is about the middle ages though.:) the time of roman emperors was +/- 1000 years earlier.

:)

1:55 Rings of Power theme (Genesis)

Walking With Beasts brought me here

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.

It feels like... plotting and world domination

translation is not perfect

Kian Sabe

Plague music. Caveat Ruinam.

You speed up the orchestra when they were jamming out ..... Sounds bad

DAMNIT, MY WIFE IS IN THERE! A dream is only fulfilled when you fulfill it. SOMETIMES THINGS ARE MORE THEN WHAT THEY SEEM Coming 2016

"michi" instead of "mihi" cannot be read without barfing...

Vi que eres de Ecuador, así que te voy a hablar en español. No existe una pronuncia "pura" del latín, hay 2 pronuncias utilizadas, la "Eclesiastica" (tambien conocida como la "Italiana") y la "Clasíca" (o la Alemana). No tiene sentido hablar de "puro latín", ya que nadie sabe como de verdad hablaban los Romanos. Lo que yo pienso (pero esta solo es una opinión) es que la eclesiastica pueda ser más correcta, ya que los monjes traducieron y copiaron libros del latin.

Oh mighty latin language , you can say anything at it will look epic

vinnie paz - kill em all

Fortune wears a Wig

, there is NO Redemtion ...

Do ing is the other half. @pomponi0

Nice version, but in my opinion the chant of the bass is too honest regarding the lyrics.

Why do you call it "she" or not "he" or "it"

@Veringetorix Translations are never perfect.

3 people need treadment

Including the lyrics is a nice touch, but the words have to be displayed slightly in advance of the actual singing, otherwise you can't sing along (unless you know the words, in which case having the lyrics would be pointless anyway).

The song is good but all i here is whoo ha he who who hah he he ha he haaaa...
