Book Description
Sebesta has provided vivid, literal translations of composer Carl Orff's selections from the Medieval Latin poems of the Carmina Burana. These poems celebrate the universal range of human emotion and experience: passion, longing, exuberance, humor, rebellion,ennui, resignation. Now tender, now tragic; secular yet reverent; the poems of the Carmina touch the chords of our purest and darkest spirituality.
