The modern
Carmina Burana
is one of the most famous and loved pieces of music in the world and perhaps, needless to say, few people were able to conceive of it working for guitar! Yet it works very well and it does so for various reasons.
Firstly, Orff seems to strip his music down to its raw ingredients. There is no complicated harmony or melody in Carmina Burana, but an abundance of primitive rhythm. The actual musical language, apart from the extravagant orchestration, is uncluttered and almost stark. It became apparent during the arrangement process that the powerful drama and delicate lyricism of
Carmina Burana
can be conveyed with the musical message intact. The vibrant percussive nature of the guitar almost draws
Carmina Burana
to the instrument.
The other reason why
Carmina Burana
works successfully on guitar is that the original sources, the medieval Goliard songs, have a certain affinity with the instrument. The wandering scholars and carousing monks of the Middle Ages would have accompanied themselves on a variety of instruments, including harps, hurdy-gurdies and lutes, and the guitar reinvests this medieval heritage back into the modern
Carmina Burana
