Background: Carmina Burana was premiered in 1937, at a very dark time in German history, and this has lead to Orff being tainted somewhat by the Nazi era – the Nazis claimed that his music was a model of what contemporary German music should be. He managed to overcome this unwelcome association, though apart from this work, his lasting reputation is that of one of the most influential teachers of the 20th century. Carmina Burana is the first work in a trilogy, the others being Catulli Carmina (1943) and Trionfo di Afrodite (1953). All display his skill for rhythmic energy and primitive, almost barbaric sonorities that proved so potent with the audience at the premiere in 1937, and have done so ever since.
