Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana” and Modeste Moussorgsky’s “Pictures At An Exhibition” which was orchestrated by Maurice Ravel are both two incredibly composed pieces of music. However, the two pieces have their differences as well as similarities. Although these beautiful pieces are similar because of the effort to represent works of art, “Carmina Burana” and “Pictures At An Exhibition” are different because of the background of the composers, the instruments used, and the influences that led Carl Orff
Carmina Burana On March 16, 2018 at 7:30 pm, I attended Carmina Burana at the Tennessee Theatre. The conductor was Aram Demirjian, and the performance consisted of Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, Lindsay Russell who is a soprano soloist, Andrew Skoog who is a tenor soloist, Daniel Johnson-Webb who is a bass-baritone soloist, and the Knoxville Chorale Society. Aram Demirjiam is a very dynamic conductor that is an American of Armanian descent. He is known for his energetic performances due to the fact
Morton Gould’s Spirituals for Orchestra takes the listener through an entire range of emotions. In the beginning of the first section, “Proclomation”, the strings have a tenacious and unyielding quality about them between the more severe blasts of the snare drum. The music then transitions to an alternation between the violins and cellos. Though in this transition the music is quieter, there is a mood of anger or pain throughout the section. There is a change of mood in the beginning of the next

Introduction/Thesis Since the first recorded use of satire in Ancient Egypt it has been used by men to scorn the aspects of society that they felt were wrong. Satire itself is language that consists of mockery and derision that is used to point out the idiocy and deceitfulness of society and individuals ("Satire - Examples and Definition of Satire",2016).

In 1937, Orff's Carmina Burana premiered in Frankfurt, Germany. Needless to say, it was a great success. With the success of Carmina Burana, Orff orphaned all of his previous works except for Catulli Carmina and the En trata which were rewritten to be acceptable by Orff. One of Orff's most admired composers was Monteverdi. In fact, much of Orff's work was based
Before I had even begun sixth grade (the point at which a person can join a band class), I knew I wanted to play an instrument. Like many others, I had this epiphany while watching the eighth grade concert band perform for my entire fifth grade class. I was mesmerized by the vast array of musical instruments.

goliards wandered around the land, composing and performing for people. Their music was mostly comprised of the "’eat, drink, and be merry’ type, appropriate to the wanton kind of life the goliards lived" (Stolba, 99). Carl Orff, the composer of the Carmina Burana, used the poems found in the largest surviving records of Latin secular music that we have today. The Codex latinus 4660 was held in the Benedictine monastery at Benediktbeurn. Many of the songs speak of love, many of them lascivious. Others speak

correlates and may trigger emotional responses, and of course one cannot have music without sound. But musical expression is more than this: it requires the attention to the music qua music, rather than as mere sounds. The opening "O Fortuna" of Carmina Burana may shock (and indeed scare) the listener due to its sudden loudness (especially when the bass drum starts whacking away), but this shock isn't a musical effect--we get the same reaction when we here a sudden "bang" at a fireworks display or when
