The title Carmina Burana is a reference to the convent of Benediktbeuren in the Bavarian Alps, where in 1803 an anonymous manuscript containing songs by the vagabond poets of the 12th and 13th centuries was found. These profane texts praise love, good food, drunkenness, but also deplore that sad state of mores. Carmina Burana exceeds the usual framework of the scenic cantata. Taking its inspiration from the plainsong (which it derides) of popular Bavarian music, Italian opera and Lutheran choirs, Carl Orff composed one of the most popular works of the 20th century. This imaginatively filmed version is interpreted by the choir and orchestra of the Academy of Music and New Palais Royal, conducted by Jean-Philippe Sarcos.
