Carmina Burana

Jun Märkl, Conductor
TBD, Vocalists

Portland State University Choirs

Pacific Youth Chorus

Debussy: Danse (Tarentelle styrienne)
Strauss: Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks
Orff: Carmina Burana

Starting and ending with the mighty hymn to the capricious Goddess Fortuna and her relentlessly turning wheel, the bold tunes and primal rhythms of Carmina Burana celebrate nature, the tavern, and the pleasures of love. It’s earthy and risqué, but sometimes also breathtakingly beautiful—like the soprano’s heaven-reaching solo—or raucous and rowdy, as the lusty drinking song, “In taberna.”
