Its lyrics are selected from the13rd century poetry anthology found in the Berun monastery of Benedictine in Bavaria. * * * is divided into 25 movements, including soprano, tenor, bass, children's chorus, chorus and band (there are 14 movements as orchestra).
The lyrics are Latin, which are songs written by students about drinking, women and love. They are divided into three parts: 1. Spring, 2. Inn, 3. Love. There are pantomime movements during the performance, accompanied by clowns and dance scenes. The writing technique of this song is simple, abandoning the common counterpoint, theme expansion, variation and so on. , but using the voice of the same degree, octave and third degree, the sentence is repeated. It is a work with excellent sound effects, and now it is often quoted by film and television works.
Introduction to Kamana Braria Bran's Poems
Bria-In benedikt, a small town in Upper Bavaria, just east of Munich in southern alps Valley, there is an ancient monastery-Bran Monastery, which was built in 740 AD. Because of its remoteness and secrecy, it is rarely destroyed by wars and other natural and man-made disasters, so many historical documents with important value have been preserved. 1903, archaeologists found a large number of ancient scrolls of medieval poems and dramas in this monastery, which were created in about 1 1 to13rd century. They can be divided into religious and secular categories in content, and more than 200 ominous secular poems, namely "Poems by Carmina Beria Bran", have been compiled and published by Bavarian scholars.
Obviously, most of these poems written in Latin were written by clergy, down-and-out literati and wandering students, and their bohemian spirit, praise of decadent lifestyle and ruthless ridicule of feudal society are surprising. Undoubtedly, it is a miracle that these works, called "Latin Lyrics in the Middle Ages", appeared in an era centered on Christian culture.
Orff read this collection of poems on 1935, which made Orff, who has been engaged in music education all his life, find the connection between the past and the present at a certain point in time and space. His impulse, after reading this collection of poems, formed a kind of thinking about human beings and their own destiny. Therefore, this "secular song for solo, chorus, instrumental accompaniment and magical scenery" was achieved on impulse. He called it "Situational Cantata" and asked it to be performed as a stage work.
1On June 8th, 937, the poems of Kamena Braria Bran premiered in Frankfurt. In Germany at that time, Schoenberg, Weber, Berger and others defined a modern music language-twelve-tone series. It was not only the focus of the music industry, but also indirectly or directly influenced all modern music at that time. Orff, as a children's music educator, has mastered his own music language, explored the combination of music and language movements as well as the cooperation of various percussion instruments, wrote "teaching works" and created a unique children's music teaching system after co-founding the "Gunter Gymnastics-Music-Dance School" with his good friend D Gunter.
Orff said: "The more essential and simple the musical expression, the more direct and intense the effect will be."
Orff's aesthetic thought is simple and simple.
He prefers strong and lively rhythm, and thinks that rhythm is the beginning of all music. He used the most primitive and simple rhythm, repeated, tired and then changed to another rhythm. His rhythm is crisp and neat, and he doesn't pay attention to harmony and progress. He is not dynamic, but static. In the whole oratorio, the exciting and forceful rhythm plays an important role.
His melody consists of short motives that are repeated continuously. No modeling, no change, no expression, no clear features. It can only be understood through lyrics, rhythm and accompaniment. The melodic language in Kamina Braria Bran's poems covers a wide range, ranging from simple melodic songs and folk songs to Flemish songs and romantic operas.
His harmony uses one or five chords, mostly the same degree, octave, third degree, fifth degree, and almost no semitone. Discordant chords are only used when exclaiming.
There are two main styles in his musical form:
1, An Tifeng's duet hymn, dialogue chorus, staggered.
2, the square has not developed and changed, and it has been repeated.
His orchestration takes percussion as the main style, a big band with three pipes, plus percussion and piano, sometimes the whole band will be regarded as percussion by him.
Among the most difficult serious music to understand in the 20th century, the simplicity and vividness of The Poems of Kamana Braria Bran are very unsociable. But I think it may be one of the best chorus songs of this century.

1. Destiny, the queen of the world
Chorus:
Oh, fate,
Like the moon
Changeable,
Alternate surplus and deficiency;
Hateful life
Put suffering
Interwoven with happiness;
Rich or poor?
Yu Fu Gui
They all melt and die like ice and snow.
Terrible and nothingness
Wheel of fortune,
You turn around mercilessly,
You're vicious and vicious,
Destroy all happiness
And good expectations,
Shadow over
punch-drunk
You also knocked me down;
Unfortunate arrival
My naked back
Crushed by you mercilessly.
Fate is destroying.
My health
And will,
Strike mercilessly
Cruel oppression,
I've been enslaved all my life.
now
Don't hesitate;
For the most fearless warrior
Also crushed by fate,
Let the strings ring,
Cry with me!
2.
Chorus:
I was defeated by fate.
Crying,
You give generously.
It's for greed and extortion.
Look at this hard record,
Once as rich as blond hair,
At that time, it was looted,
Only desolation is left.
I used to be very successful in my career.
Sitting on the throne of fate,
I used to wear a colorful crown.
Have unlimited wealth;
Enjoy the glory
With wealth,
But now I'm in a high position
All the glory was taken away.
The wheel of fate turns relentlessly;
I was thrown into the abyss;
Others climbed to the top.
At the pinnacle of glory,
What a smug person-
You can't escape fate!
The wheel of fate has already recorded all the ups and downs.
For example, Queen cobber.
My spring
3.
Chorus:
Smile in spring
All over the earth,
severe winter
Hurriedly escape;
Beautiful flower god
Wearing colorful skirts,
A sweet hymn
Echo in the forest. Ah!
Lying in the arms of the flower god
The sun god is still smiling,
Colorful flowers are everywhere,
From fengshen.
Sweet smell.
Let's fall in love quickly
Share the sweetness of love. Ah!
Nightingale singing
Sweet music,
The green grass is laughing.
Blooming beautiful flowers,
Happy bird
Shuttling through the forest,
The girl's song is
The beginning of endless joy. Ah!

Baritone:

Everything came back to life.
The charm of spring
Let us be ecstatic,
Reunion that long-lost happiness;
Turn this ecstatic day
Cherish it,
Don't let it go to waste
Love me faithfully!
I repay you with love:
Put your heart and soul into it
And soul,
Travel around the world
I want to be with you too.
Sincere love
Push the wheel of destiny.

The winter wind has disappeared,
Spring sucks the milk of summer;
Those poor people
But I don't understand
Enjoy this wonderful summer.
Pursue that sweet love. Ah!
Immerse yourself in sweetness

And joy,

Just for enjoyment.

In the hotel
1 1.
Baritone:
my heart
Anger burns,
suffer
I feel sorry for myself:
Like dust,
Humble,
Like dead leaves in the wind
At the mercy of fate.
Smart guy.
On that stone
firmly
Lay a solid foundation,
I'm a fool.
Like that stream,
Tortuous and arduous
Never rest in peace,
I am a small boat with no one at the helm.
Wandering around,
I am a bird with nowhere to go.
Flying in the air;
Free and independent,
Free and unfettered,
Join the ranks of the homeless
Live this miserable and free life.
Sad mood
Makes me unhappy;
Happy life
Will be happy;
Obey Venus' will
Is a sweet drudge,
A lazy mind
She never condescends.
I wantonly
Spend your youth,
Indulge in bad habits,
Lose virtue,
Longing for desire
I can't get rid of it,
The soul has long been numb,
Only obsessed with physical pleasure.
12. Song of Roasted Goose

I used to live by the river,
Ye Zeng is beautiful and healthy.

Now I have a sunburn.
No mercy!

Now I have a sunburn.

I'm already a meal on the plate.
Can't fly high anymore,

No mercy!
13.
Baritone and male chorus:
I am the abbot of Anle Township.
My friends are all alcoholics,
We are all gamblers,
You will find me in this shop in the morning.
Gambling all night, stripping your opponent of his last clothes,
Evening prayers have passed,
Listen to the naked guy is still in the sad howl:
Oh! Oh!
Look what you've done, you damn fate.
All the happiness in my life.
You took them all!
Aha!
14.
Male chorus:
We are in this small shop,
Never worry about the disappearance of life and the cycle of life and death.
We just drink and gamble,
Always happy and comfortable.
If you want to know
What's interesting here,
For the highest money,
Then listen to me:
Some people gamble, some people drink,
Have fun and be free.
Those gamblers,
Or lose everything,
Or make a fortune,
Put a sack naked and gamble again.
No one here cherishes life,
Let's bet in the name of Dionysus.
Let's drink to the wine seller first.
A dissolute friend,
For prisoners,
Three are still alive,
Four are Christians,
Five are loyal and upright souls,
Six for slutty bitches,
Seven are robbers in the forest,
Brothers from all over the world,
Nine monks are traveling in the clouds,
Ten sailors,
1 1 times because of quarrels,
Twelve are confessors,
Thirteen is a tramp,
For the pope, for the king.
Drink to your heart's content.
Ladies drink, gentlemen drink,
Soldiers drink, priests drink,
Men drink, women drink,
The servant accompanied the maid to drink,
Hard-working people drink, lazy people drink,
White people drink, black people drink,
Married people are drinking, homeless people are drinking,
Stupid things are drinking, smart people are drinking,
The poor drink with the sick,
Exiles drink with strangers,
Children drink, old people drink,
Bishop and priest drink together,
Little sister drinks, big brother drinks,
Old women drink, old women drink,
Drink this, drink that,
Hundreds of people are drinking and thousands of people are drinking.
How about 600 eldest sons?
Unscrupulous and unrestrained.
We are all happy drunks.
Let others abuse you.
We are already poor.
Defamation will be cursed.
The book of justice will not record their names.
Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo!
Iii love courtyard

Latin original poem
Oh, Fortuna Velut luna's fate is like the moon.
The changeable state is like a storm.
The eternal new moon is always profitable.
Aut decrescis often loses money.
Detective Vita, this despised life.

Sometimes it's comforting.
After all, it's Ludomintis aciem's fantasy game.
