The Good Musician

Today, I’ve got a tasty little bite for you guys that you may already have heard in various places.

The piece is “O Fortuna” from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, and I encourage you to listen to the whole work if you can, because of all pieces, O Fortuna isn’t necessarily the best , in my humblest of opinions.

Enjoy, and have a great weekstart. The video here shows the aforementioned piece as the finale, preceded by the ominous “Ave formosissima”.

Also check out Sir Simon Rattle’s excellent conducting (he actually stops doing anything and lets it flow at one point) and watch for the percussionist enjoying it thoroughly . No wonder, it’s a great piece for percussion, and they put him right in the middle for all to see.
