[dsyglym]

we sang this in amsterdam concerthall!

[darkprose]

@dsyglym Excellent. It's an exciting piece.

[erronae]

If my life could have a theme song this would be it. That, or Tchaikovsky's Slavonic Marche.

[darkprose]

@erronae Hmm, I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing. ;-) Either way, you're life must be VERY dramatic.

[nocandy4u2]

This song would be like, ungodly epic in a movie or show as like, a war march song.

[darkprose]

@nocandy4u2 "Ungodly epic." Very nice.

[kobrulz]

In my opinion this version is too slow...we performed it faster

[astrideuridice]

thanks a lot for posting the all this songs from the carmina burana thanks thanks a lot a love them..

[VERAEFIGIES]

Una mañana, me cepillé mi cabello y puse de música de fondo toda Carmina Burana.

[Pacmau01]

I'm glad that we are going to sing this for our chorus concert in the High-School :D

[civiscivis]

@nocandy4u2 You are right, the first part of CB is about the spring and its beauty, the second part is just about drinking, sumptuous feast, and the third part is actually about love (short said, because there are many small pieces, with a bit different contents). And all this is "surrounded" by the great choir "Fortuna imperatrix mundi" and wehn you translate it, it means fortune rules the world... And Fortuna isn`t interested in the faith of one single man, and she only keeps her wheel turning

[TheSerbianUP]

Great

[nocandy4u2]

@psychoaiko666 Most of the songs I've heard describe the spring and love and are yes, quite relaxing.

but these songs though, the first two, Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, are just about how much of an ass fortune can be. And really, fortune can be applied to just about anything :P

[psychoaiko666]

@nocandy4u2 funny that you think that fortuna plango vulnera would make a good war march song, because carmina burana actualy describes the horrors of war

[MF033D]

This is a recommended song for playing Call of Duty.

[theodora416]

i really love this song!!! :D
