| Description: |
Orff's high-spirited dance 'Uff dem Anger' from 'Carmina Burana' makes the listener feel stirrings of joy and excitement. This instrumental dance sparkles with unbridled joie de vivre. A soloistic duet between flute and timpani is reminiscent of performances of medieval minstrels. Composed in 1935-1936, Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana' is one of the most frequently performed choral and orchestral works in music history and, as major classical open-air event, has elicited thunderous applause from the audience in recent years. The secret of success may well be the catchy tunes of the medieval drinking, spring and love songs as well as the rousing rhythmic force that even appeal to rock- and pop-accustomed ears.
