This article is about Carl Orff's musical composition based on the medieval collection of poems. For the collection of poems, see Carmina Burana.


Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff between 1935 and 1936. It is based on 24 of the poems found in the medieval collection Carmina Burana. Its full Latin title is Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis ("Songs of Beuern: Secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magic images.") Carmina Burana is part of Trionfi, the musical triptych that also includes the cantata Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. The best-known movement is "O Fortuna" that opens and closes the piece.



[edit] Text

Main article: Carmina Burana

Orff first encountered the text in John Addington Symonds's 1884 publication, Wine, Women, and Song, which included English translations of 46 poems from the collection. Michel Hofmann, a young law student and Latin and Greek enthusiast, assisted Orff in the selection and organization of 24 of these poems into a libretto, mostly in Latin verse, with a small amount of Middle High German and Old Provençal. The selection covers a wide range of secular topics, as familiar in the 13th century as they are in the 21st century: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the pleasures and perils of drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust.

Instrumentation

Carmina Burana is scored for 3 flutes (two doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (one doubling English horn/cor anglais), 3 clarinets in B♭ and A (one doubling E♭ clarinet, one doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns in F, 3 trumpets in B♭ and C, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 pianos, celesta, a large percussion section and strings.

The percussion section consists of 9 timpani (one piccolo), 2 snare drums, bass drum, triangle, antique cymbals, crash cymbals, suspended cymbal, ratchet, castanets, sleigh bells, tam-tam, 3 tambourines, tubular bells, 3 bells, 3 glockenspiels and xylophone.

The vocal parts include soprano solo, tenor solo, baritone solo, soli of 3 tenors, baritone, and 2 basses, a large mixed choir (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), a chamber choir (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and a children's choir (ragazzi).

A reduced version for soloists, mixed choir, children's choir, 2 pianos and percussion was prepared by Orff's disciple Wilhelm Killmayer in 1956 and authorised by Orff himself, to afford smaller ensembles the opportunity of performing the piece.
Structure


Carmina Burana is structured into five major sections, containing thirteen movements total. Orff indicates attacca markings between all the movements within each scene.

* Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi [Fortuna, Empress of the World]
* Primo vere [Spring] - includes the internal scene Uf dem Anger [In the Meadow]
* In Taberna [In the Tavern]
* Cours d'amours [Court of Love]
* Blanziflor et Helena [Blanziflor and Helena]

Much of the compositional structure is based on the idea of the turning Fortuna Wheel. The drawing of the wheel found on the first page of the Burana Codex includes four phrases around the outside of the wheel:

"Regnabo (I shall reign), Regno (I reign/I am reigning), Regnavi (I have reigned), Sum sine regno (I am without a kingdom)".

Within each scene, and sometimes within a single movement, the wheel of fortune turns, joy turning to bitterness, and hope turning to grief. O Fortuna, the first poem in the Schmeller edition, completes this circle, forming a compositional frame for the work by consisting of both the opening and closing movements.

[edit] Musical style

Orff's style demonstrates a desire for directness of speech and of access. Carmina Burana contains little or no development in the classical sense, and polyphony is also conspicuously absent. Carmina Burana avoids overt harmonic complexities, a fact which many musicians and critics have pointed out, such as Ann Powers of the New York Times[1]. Considering the complicated compositional techniques favored by almost all other renowned composers of the day, such as Edgard Varèse, the work may be considered in this respect extremely bold.

Orff was influenced melodically by late Renaissance and early Baroque models including William Byrd and Claudio Monteverdi. It is a common misconception that Orff based the melodies of Carmina Burana on neumeatic melodies: while a lot of the lyrics in the Burana Codex are enhanced with neumes, almost none of these melodies had been deciphered at the time of Orff's composition, and none of them had served Orff as a melodic model. His shimmering orchestration shows a deference to Stravinsky. In particular, Orff's music is very reminiscent of Stravinsky's earlier work, Les Noces (The Wedding).

Rhythm for Orff, as for Stravinsky, is often the primary musical element. Overall, it sounds rhythmically straightforward and simple, but the metre will change freely from one measure to the next. While the rhythmic arc in a section is taken as a whole, a measure of five may be followed by one of seven, to one of four, and so on, often with caesura marked between them. These constant rhythmic changes combined with the caesura create a very "conversational" feel — so much so that the rhythmic complexities of the piece are often overlooked.





Ovako molio bih da mi netko ovo sve prevede do srijede ujutro.
Tko mi sve prevede platim mu 5 fga.

stari moj ovo ti je oko 2-3 kartice, realna cijena je oko 150 kuna
jel ti treba samo blatno da razumijes ili mora bit fino za predat neki seminar ili nesto?

erm ako ti treba za latinski kako pobogu ja nemam pojma latinski mogu jedino na hrvatski.


ps. tekst je maksimalno gnjusan krcat je ovih muzickih izraza...

ja neznam dosta hrvatski da bi to mogo prevest

Ovaj članak je o skladbi baziranoj na kolekciji srednjevjekovnih pjesama, čiji autor je Carl Orff. Za zbirku pjesama pogledati Carmina Burana.

Carmina burana je scenska cantata (engleski sinonim za cantatu je oratorium, koji se prevodi kao oratorij, : musical composition for voices and orchestra based on a religious text ... izaberi si prijevod) koju je skladao Carl Orff imeđu 1935 i 1936 godine. Temelj skladbe čine 24 pjesme iz srednjevjekovne zbirka pjesama Carmina Burana. Puni izvorni naslov zbirke je „Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis“, u slobodnom prijevodu „Svjetovne pjesme za vokaliste i zbor, za izvedbu uz instrumente i čarobne slike“. Carmina burana je dio glazbenog triptiha Trionfi. Trionfi uključuje cantata Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite. Najpoznatiji stavak je „o fortuna“, koji započinje i završava djelo.

Orff se susreo sa spomenutim tekstom u poblikaciji Johna Addingtona, „Wine, Women and Song“, koja je uključivala 46 pjesama iz kolekcije prevedenih na engleski jezik. Michael Hoffman, mladi student prava zainteresiran za latinski i grčki jezik, je pomogao Orffu da odabere 24 pjesme i oblikuje libreto, uglavnom na latinskom, uz poneki dio na Srednjem Visoko Njemačkom (visoko njemacki se govorio u bavarskoj, i temelj je današnjeg njemackog. middle je oznaka razdoblja, dakle srednjevjekovni Visoko njemački, iako se i na hrvatskom naziva srednje viskoko njemački) te Old Provencal (nemam pojma sta je to, guglaj malo). Izbor pokriva svevremenske svjetovne teme, prevrtljivost sreće i bogatstva, prolaznost zivota, radost proljeća, te opasnosti i zadovoljstva koje skrivaju pohlepa, kockanje, požuda i pijanstvo.

Voklani dijelovi uključuju ....

Structure

Wilhelm Killmayer, Orffov učenik, je 1956 pripremio reduciranu verziju za soliste, mješani zbor, dječji zbor, 2 klavira i udaraljke. Skladbu je odobrio sam Orff, da bi se manjim ansamblima omogućilo izvođenje djela.

CB se sastoji od 5 glavnih djelova, koji sadrže ukupno 13 stavaka. Orff je označio attacca oznake između svih stavaka i unutar svake scene.

* Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi [Fortuna, Carica Svijeta]
* Primo vere [Proljeće] – uključuje scenu Uf dem Anger [na livadi]
* In Taberna [u gostionici]
* Cours d'amours [Court of Love – Dvor ljubavi, udvaranje i ljubav.. ?]
* Blanziflor et Helena [Blanziflor i Helena]


Veliki dio strukture se bazira na ideji okretanja kola sreće. Crtež kola na prvoj strani kodeksa CB pokazuje 4 faze kola:

"Regnabo (I shall reign), Regno (I reign/I am reigning), Regnavi (I have reigned), Sum sine regno (I am without a kingdom)". - prevedi sam

Unutar svake scene, a ponekad i u pojedinom stavku, kolo sreće se vrti, pretvarajući sreću u gorčinu, a nadu u propast grief (ehehe koji stats...). O fortuna, prva pjesma u Schmellerovom izdanju, zatvara krug, i stvara okvir djela, time što se nalazi na početku i kraju.

kasnije cu drugi dio ili daj ti javi tokom dana.
naravno sve je free jer ti je offer total socijalan
