It is used as background music by many media.
For example, the background music of Jack Xun's music promo is Bran's poem.
And several songs in the fourth album of Enigma chose it.
ERA's Mass is also adapted from Bran's poem.
The difference is that the original is classical, while the popular is popular.
Kamena Bulana is a mysterious poem in13rd century. It was hidden in a monastery in Bavaria for centuries, and once it was made public, it shocked the world. This is the best-preserved medieval poem with the highest artistic value.
Bran's poems, also known as Bojland's songs, are immortal masterpieces in the history of music and have profound cultural connotations. These poems and dramas come from 13 to 14 century wandering poets. They were wandering scholars and clergy from England, France and Germany in the Middle Ages, and were famous for writing satirical rhymes and poems praising wine and indulging in debauchery. Bran's poems reflect the creative style of these wandering poets. These poems have different themes and styles, including wine songs, solemn love poems and indulgent love songs, religious poems and pastoral lyrics, and satirical poems directed at the church and the government.
German composer carl orff (1895- 1982) lived in Bavaria for a long time. When he read Bran's Poems on 1935, he was greatly shocked. He gave this strange poem a new and eternal life with rough, powerful and passionate music. He selected 25 poems from this manuscript and composed this poem "bran poem", which is divided into three themes: "spring", "wine" and "love".
Orff's Bran Poetry was completed in 1936, and its full title is Bran Poetry, a secular song with solo and chorus accompanied by instrumental music and wonderful stage scenes. It is a grand "situational chorus". Its huge establishment includes soprano, tenor and baritone solos, chorus with chorus and children's chorus, and large orchestra with two pianos and various percussion instruments. This magnificent work premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on June 8, 1937. It brings people into a completely different world, and its magical music awakens the joyful impulse in human nature with incredible power. Since its publication and recording, this work has been the most infectious and wonderful classic choral work. It is also an important teaching material to test the strength and cooperation ability of conductors, bands and singers.
The overture is majestic and solemn, and the composer seems to be trying to build a temple by singing and listening. The first part of the official song "Spring" is light and bright, and contains a long distance. The male and female voices of the chorus alternate like the day and night changes in the time series; The second "Pub" is a secular scene, which uses the falsetto and tone sandhi of actors, just like describing the world of people living in the scene of masked parties; But strangely, the jubilant scene seems to be as cold as a passing ghost; The third book, Love, has the catharsis of longing for love, the ode to love sadness and the simple singing of lust. Among them, the female voice singing "On the Balance" was gorgeous and sad, which became a classic in the concert.
Composer carl orff added a new melody on the basis of inheriting the classical composition method. Under the influence of "expressionism", he used neo-primitivism elements and added percussion elements to the rhythm, which made Bran's poems perfectly combine medieval vagrancy with modern singing. It is the most popular chorus music in the 20th century, which combines the singing of chorus, soprano, baritone, tenor and falsetto tenor.
Bran's poems are full of amazing elements and drama. Full of majestic shouts and euphemistic hymns, it makes a surging sound like a raging torrent crashing on a rock, and it is like a gurgling stream winding to a soft grass beach. Band and singing complement each other; Shock percussion music is like the call of fate, which has a strong soul-knocking effect. Bran's Poetry is a hymn of life, as if God's eyes were watching in the dark. Under the guidance of the three themes, motives such as "belief" and "death" are skillfully involved, and the tonality has both secular joy and epic momentum. The real motive implied in it is pity, regret and lament for the short life. Rilke's poem is used to describe this work: "The true God of mercy, when he comes, is majestic and radiant, just like the gods. /stronger than the wind blowing on a steady boat.

Oh, Fortuna's Chinese translation:
Oh, fate,
Like the moon,
changing
Forever, the surplus is gradually disappearing,
A hateful life,
Suppress you first,
After comforting you,
As wonderful as it is,
Poverty,
Power,
Everything melts like ice.
The fate of terror and emptiness,
You are a spinning wheel!
You are insidious!
Happiness is a failure,
Disappear forever,
You hide in the shadows!
You covered it!
I was tortured by you!
After walking around,
I gave everything to your malice!
Fate is against me
My physique,
My personality,
I am driven by you!
You held it down!
Be enslaved by you forever!
In this hour,
Without delay,
Tear off the rope,
Because fate is hitting the string maker,
Everybody cry with me!
