Carl Orff (1895-1982). Version pour deux pianos et percussions.Carmina Burana : ce titre aussi célèbre que mystérieux désigne d’abord les « Poèmes de Beuern », un manuscrit du XIIIe siècle retrouvé en 1803 dans une abbaye bavaroise.

En 1937, Carl Orff, fasciné par le Moyen Âge, met en musique vingtquatre de ces textes, avec une puissance d’évocation qui a conféré à cette monumentale cantate un succès planétaire. Créé en des temps obscurs, ce chef d’oeuvre est une célébration électrisante de la fugacité de l’existence, des forces de la nature et des plaisirs de la chair – mais aussi l’une des plus spectaculaires partitions chorales qui soit.
