Then you should not forget a magnificent chorus-this is the beginning of one of the most popular classical music works in the 20th century, The Poetry of Bran (also known as Song of Bojland).
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. The composer Orff was greatly shocked when he read Bran's poems in 1935. He gave this strange poem a new and eternal life with rough, powerful and passionate music. 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.
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. As if it came from heaven, not from human beings.
German composer carl orff (1895— 1982) lived in Bavaria for a long time. He selected 25 poems from this manuscript and composed this poem "bran poem", which is divided into three themes: "spring", "wine" and "love".
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.
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. /Better than the wind blowing the boat. "

Opening chorus "Oh, Fortuna" ("Oh, Goddess of Destiny"
lyrics
(Latin) (English translation)
Oh, Fortuna, oh, wealth,
Velut luna likes the moon.
A changeable state, you are changeable,
Wax the eternal crescent moon.
Aut decree; And weaken;
Hateful life
Nuncoobdurat oppressed first
Treat first, then relieve.
Ludomintis aciem, fantasy;
poor
Power and power
Dissolve glaciers. It melts them like ice.
Sors immanis fate-monstrous
Empty, empty,
Rotating wheels,
Status malus, you are vicious,
Vana salus happiness is illusory.
Is always decomposable and always disappears without a trace,
Shadow shadow
Et velata and veil
Mickey Quaker Ni tyreese; You also torture me;
Nunc per ludum now uses games
I'm wearing a bare back
fero tui sceleris。 To your evil deeds.
Sorsalutis fate is against me
The virtue of health
On the contrary, and virtue,
Emotion drives us.
Equal defects and weight loss,
Semper in Angola. Always enslaved.
So at this time,
brook no delay
Kedai gangue; Pluck the vibrating strings;
Every second since fate
Stent Fordham knocked down the string man,
Oh, my God! Everyone cries with me!
-
Chinese translation:
Goddess of Destiny (also translated as wheel of fortune)
Oh, fate, impermanence.
Like the moon.
Sometimes full moon, sometimes incomplete.
Damn life.
Rough first, then smooth.
Like being played by fate.
Whether poor or strong.
Will eventually dissolve and disappear like ice.
The fate of absurd vanity
You big ship that never stops moving.
Vicious and cruel
The happiness of life becomes empty in an instant.
You hide in the shadows to cover.
Give me pain and suffering, and now I have to gamble my luck.
Ask you for justice with your bare hands.
Fate is against me
Health and virtue are not mine.
Depression and frustration enslave my heart.
Please don't hesitate at this moment.
Pluck the strings of terror at once.
Because fate has defeated the strong.
Everyone can only cry with me.
