[dindindinner]

Salo is a masterpiece if you can view it the way it's intended to be.

[Ebilrubberducky]

I don't understand what this has to do with the song.

@_@

[amohotepv]

I am confused by this song, it reminds me of the top comments, what an odd pair of statements

@_@

[zdorian]

Salo is great movie

[1958debs]

If I was just listening to this and not reading the title, I would have sworn that I had stumbled into a wake, not hearing about the loverly faces of spring. What was Carl Orff anyway, a bitter-beer faced German?

[johnd94]

Why isn't there a repeat button

[lhbeau]

@afareni You can make it repeat by replacing "tube" in the URL with "repeat". This works with any Youtube vid.

[awesomegirlO]

This thing is just plain epic. No doubt about it.

[PsychoOnLoose]

Ah! ?

[StaraptorEmpoleon2]

I love Carmina Burana!

[ChungFat4eva]

gratias maximas tibi ago!

[linkinetherlands11]

purus latina

[BloodofSpartans]

@linkinetherlands11 The pronunciation is horrendous. We classicists are so aggravated by little things like that.

Oh well. Not everybody can be an Optimus Superbus Graecus.

[sellis235]

@BloodofSpartans poetic license, deal with it

[Bumblybee256]

@BloodofSpartans because we know for sure how it was pronounced..........?

[BloodofSpartans]

@Bumblybee256 Actually, yes. The Romans made guides for teaching Latin as a second language to conquered peoples.

But yeah, I know it was a stupid joke. Clearly I need a personal life when this is the sort of thing that I argue about, right?

[Bumblybee256]

@BloodofSpartans Really? What bits are wrong? Or is it all really bad?

[BloodofSpartans]

@Bumblybee256 It's not much, really. Latin teachers always say that

1. V is pronounced like a W

2. C is always hard, like K or Kappa

But that's just classical pronunciation. I think the Vatican today uses a version more like modern Italian (like the CH sound for C and V sound for V).

[Bumblybee256]

@BloodofSpartans I think in music sometimes there are changes made to articulate or fit with the music. I used to study latin but can't remember most of it lol

[Taenyr]

@BloodofSpartans This piece should be sung with Germanic pronunciation anyway (i.e. c = ts, qu = kv, etc.)

[Keairan3]

@Taenyr I've sung it that way before, it's a bloody pain in the arse. Sure, it's more correct, but having to force yourself to sing any language in a new way is more than a little annoying.

[Taenyr]

@Keairan3 I can understand that. =)

[unclejoeoakland]

@BloodofSpartans Love to have the benefit of your own knowledge, because I've also heard latin teachers (invariably anglo types) assert that the Romans pronounced the written V as a W. I have my suspicions about that, because so many of them are, as I mentioned, Anglo-Saxons, and also because the V sound corresponds to the V written in all the Romance languages, this sound can be heard consistently in cognates across them, and there is a paucity of the W sound in the Romance languages.

[pitcalco]

@BloodofSpartans Yes, you are right. However, more importantly to Carmina Burana, the pronunciations had already shifted by the time these texts were written in the 12th century, which is why the singers pronounce the words as they do. As well, even spellings had changed somewhat and even the spelling errors committed by the original writer have been rendered unchanged.
