It is one of the most recognizable and frequently performed choral works in the Western classical tradition, as well as having been used at climactic moments in countless movies, television programs and commercials. <BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR>Based on a collection of medieval, secular Latin poetry discovered in 1803 at a Bavarian monastery, the text for <I>Carmina Burana</I> is often colorful, bawdy and humorous. The poems deal with love and sex, drinking and gambling, time and the changing seasons, with the overall theme that in life and love, man is but a pawn of fate.
