This piece needs to be 60 mins long, building ever building, repeating until it crashes down on the audience like a tsunami. It's cute and classic. It could be massive and dominating...I love it.
@edgar0001 .His idea was for simple pieces for young kids(6yrs - 10yrs) to play, basically to get them interested in music at an early age. A good concept it certainly worked for me
@edgar0001 We should all hope to regain something childlike in what remains of our muddled and rushed lives of today, especially from such gentle and genuine music as this. It allows us to revisit the time of our lives where there was more love and less hate, more innocence than guilt. It's lost now, and if it wasn't for this genre of craftsmanship in music, it would be gone forever.
*Repeated comment from 1 year ago ~~ Much like other instrumental favourites of mine, my heart sighs heavily when I hear it. Then I close my eyes and let the music wash me away. It takes me to better times and places where I want to be, where children can still laugh and play..and be children. I wish it would just go on forever...
@cinnevey I think some of Hans Zimmer's "True Romance" Soundtrack is extremely similar. Especially "The Beach" - sounds like he just adapted it slightly :S
@MrJ4ckie A version of this was used in a 70's movie called "Badlands," which was a direct influence to both the writer and director of True Romance, so Zimmer, the guy who did the soundtrack for TR used a very similar song as sort of a homage. Its beautiful in all three forms.
Carl Orff es uno de los mejores en su música de ritmo y melodía excelente, maravilloso. Que bueno que existan personas con talento, hacen de este Mundo la diferencia entre las poblaciones Humanas. Respetuosamente, me parece muy agradable esta música especial. JFMP. OK.
l love this music,have loved it from hearing it on Badlands.It takes me through fields of poppies skipping along happily to meet my friends.O well l am easy to please.
Its amazing how many movies have used this, not to mention TV programmes, the BBC once used it on a Univesity type knoledge scheme. I wrote to them and asked about who composed it and got a reply that defied logic, I will not even bother to go into the details.
Suffice to say I pay good money the BBC and expect courtesy.

This is just such a fascinating melody, it builds in intensity like Bolero and you either hate it or love it - I love it. So cleverly arranged and such a deceivingly simple tune.
It's just so simple and elegant, it's like a painter that has reached the antithesis of his creation, no more could be added or it would detract from its beauty. Simply, genius!
@elsiglo "Antithesis" is the polar opposite of what you mean, antithesis means the opposite of, an 'anti-thesis' an opposing view point the the one put forward, in otherwords 'marxism is the antithesis of capitalism'. The word you're looking for is 'seminal'. "This was Orff's seminal piece", the one which defined his career. Or it may not be, but antithesis IS NOT the correct phrase.
A piece of music one wishes would just go on forever. I think of the lost innocence of childhood that's been removed from the children of the world when I listen to this..and I cry.
He was, but he didn't write this. It's from the 1500s and the arrangement is by Gunild Keetman, one of his colleagues. It became my favorite song of all time the first time I heard it. It is very sweet and uplifting.
Questa è una composizione geniale che nasce da terre lontane, un qualcosa che ha del tribale africano eppure composta da un tedesco. é un pezzo meraviglioso, emotivo, è stupendo.
at my school we have an orff group and this was one of the songs we played. it was a challenge to learn but it's amazing. i played the alto, wich is the second instrement that comes in. it was so fun. we went to 3 festivals and placed gold in all of them, and we were invited to play in toronto, but had to pass up the trip. we also preformed at music monday
..there are very few pieces of music in existence that have the power to gently soothe my tortured psyche..and take me away to MY place of comfort where soft blue light abounds and children laugh and live and love without a worry in the world..this song is one of them..hauntingly and exquisitely beautiful..please excuse me now as I must close my eyes and dream my way home..
i have allways loved this piece, can remember hearing it many many years ago, never knew what it was, tracked it down at last. oh i love it so much, it is so beautiful that it fills me with joy and makes me want to cry at the same time, such an emotive piece. thanks for posting.
this ranks a close 'third' behind Classical Gas by Mason Williams and Love Is Blue by Paul Mauriat..as one of the three most spine tingling and soul soothing instrumental works composed in the last 50 years..I wish all three of these awesome pieces I've mentioned would go on playing forever...
This piece is really beautiful.. But at the same time I´m disgusted.. The soundtrack of the movie "True love" of Quentin Tarantino copied this piece.. damm.. the creativity is dying on this years
Cute!

Orff didn't write it ... it is an arrangement of the 1536 compostion by lutist Hans Neusielder, done by Orff's Schulwerk collaborator Gunild Keetman.
