Carmina Burana translates into "Songs from Benediktbeuern" or more often, but less
accurately, as "Songs of Beuren." These songs celebrate spring, tavern-life and love.
Orff's inspiration for the piece was drawn from a manuscript collection containing
200 medieval poems and songs. Carmina Burana received its first performance in June
1937 at the Frankfurt Opera in Germany.
