Carmina Burana Orff

The contrast between spirit and sensitivity - that is, between seriousness and entertainment - has been a constant in Western culture. Let's take the thirteenth century as a temporary case: the cult of courtly love sung by the serious Mediterranean troubadours had its distracted replica in the poems that, in an earthy language, explicit from a cynical and irreverent perspective, were written by ex- friars called goliards . Vices of all kinds, strident social and religious criticism and, above all, a commitment to free life were his credentials, which Carl Orff immortalized with exciting and sensual music at the same time: Carmina Burana. For those who are suspicious of tomorrow, let's take advantage of today.  Carpe Diem!
