ORFF: Carmina Burana

Once hailed by the Nazis as a symbol of Aryan supremacy, Carmina Burana has come to be recognized as a powerful expression of the gluttony and depravity present in a medieval, pagan society. An effective performance of Orffís musical adventure must allow audiences to envision the ìimagines magicae,î or magical images conveyed through the convergence of music and choreography.
