do you have this thing where the first version of something you encountered is always the best one somehow?

we have this really smooth hi-fi recording of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and it's lovely, but it still can't compare with the really shitty CD of it we bought for £1 in an Aldi supermarket in the 90s - somehow that's the touchstone, even with the bits where the baritone is too loud and he gets distorted because the engineers were like fuck it that'll do

listening to the posher recording rn and it's like film-of-the-book - it's okay, but it lacks the sheer grittiness of the fucked up paperback we carried with us for years

as a complete adhd aside, we're not sure if we've ever typed the word posher before, but now we can't help thinking of glamping being the fancy kind of camping so posher is like gourmet kosher?

Ray Manzarek - "The Wounds Of Fate" From the album Carmina Burana (1983)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

In 1803 a scroll of medieval poems was discovered in the German province of Bavaria among the debris of the secularized monastery of Benedikt-Beuren ("BURANA").

These lyrics, written primarily in Latin, were determined to be the work of renegade monks and wandeing poets of the 13th century. Their words captured the lost world of rebels and dropouts of the medieval clergy, hard lovers, drinkers, on the move, celebrating existence, rather than living the meditative celibate, cloistered life of the monastery.

In 1935 German composer Carl Orff re-discovered the poems. Impressed with their meaning and rhythm he composed a cantata utilizing the centuries-old verses. He transformed the writings into invocations and profane chants accompanied by numnerous instruments and magical representations.

These songs ("CARMINA") were divided into three primary sections. Springtime -- the life force renewed; In the Tavern -- drinking and gambling; The Court of Love -- passion, sensuality. The sections are pervaded and framed by the Wheel of Fortune ("O Fortuna") perpetually turning, perpetually governing the course of man's existence.

In 1983 Ray Manzarek, long attracted to the spiritual power of Carmina Burana, chose to interpret the piece in a contemporary framework. This presentation intends to create enchanted pictures; to conjure up the ecstasy expressed by the lyrics, an enhanced intense feeling for life akin to the passions and revelry of the wandering poets of so long ago.

The poem O Fortuna in the Carmina Burana manuscript (13th century)

The poem, a complaint against the goddess of fortune, was masterfully composed by Carl Orff in 1934-35 (listen here).

There's some Carmina photos on my orchestra's Facebook page and one of them definitely confirms my suspicion that I just looked kind of unhinged for most of it. Which suits the feral energy of the piece but also, like.

You can't really tell at that resolution but that's me in the middle of this closeup:

I'm just trying to be expressive, dammit.

I look okay in this one though. Basking in Orff's gift to the alto section. It might be my favorite part of CB to sing.
