Carmina Burana........is about?

by workandbooks @ 19. Jul 2008 - 10:36:46 pm

The most stupidest program is on Channel 4 at the moment Jackass. Stupid.
When it came on though a piece of music which I love to bits came on, so I looked it up on youtube.....and found it. Remember the music to the Old Spice advert millions of years ago?

Looking at other videos it appears to be from an opera - Carmina Burana. Not keen on opera but I love this famous piece. Any one know what the opera is about? It looks very dramatic on the videos I've seen, please explain - I'm not one of the most culturally educated people on earth.

Here's a vid of the music, but obviously this isn't the opera.

It's not actually about anything.

There’s no story as such.

It's a collection of poems set to music.

Lovin the vid ... Adam.

Thank you for your help Adam. So the video is the animators interpretation of the music.

Still wondering if you have taken an extended holiday. It's a long way back to the 19th LOL.

We will settle with the fact that you are enjoying a form of summer hibernation - LOL.

Hi Skip, sorry for the delay in replying. Sadly I must say goodbye to everyone for now (see my post of this evening). I'm sure I'll be back though in the future - it's been fun being part of weathercheck and long may it reign (yes reign, not rain, we want as little of that as possible ) Hugs, byeeeee.
