In the first part the composer's life is summarized and briefly his work and compositional style are characterized. The second part is dedicated to the cantata itself, it is focused on comparing several versions of the cantatas.

  • Reconsidering the Carmina Burana Gundela Bobeth (Translated by Henry Hope)1
    4 | Wine, women, and song? Reconsidering the Carmina Burana gundela bobeth (translated by henry hope)1 Introduction: blending popular views and scientific approaches By choosing the catchy title Carmina Burana –‘songs from Benediktbeuern’–for his 1847 publication of all Latin and German poems from a thirteenth-century manuscript held at the Kurfürstliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek Munich, a manuscript as exciting then as now, the librar- ian Johann Andreas Schmeller coined a term which, unto the present day, is generally held to denote secular music-making of the Middle Ages in paradigmatic manner.2 The Carmina Burana may be numbered among the few cornerstones of medieval music history which are known, at least by name, to a broader public beyond the realms of musicology and medieval history, and which have evolved into a ‘living cultural heritage of the present’.3 Held today at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek under shelfmarks Clm 4660 and 4660a, and commonly known as the ‘Codex Buranus’, the manuscript – referred to in what follows as D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a – constitutes the largest anthology of secular lyrics in medieval Latin and counts among the most frequently studied manuscripts of the Middle Ages.4 Yet the entity most commonly associated with the title Carmina Burana has only little to do with the musical transmission of this manu- script. Carl Orff’s eponymous cantata of 1937, which quickly became one of the most famous choral works of the twentieth century, generally tops the list of associations. Orff’s cantata relates to D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a only in as much as it is based on a subjective selection of the texts edited by Schmeller; it does not claim to emulate the medieval melodies.

    WINE, WOMEN, AND SONG. "Wer liebt nicht Weib Wein and Gesang Der bleibt ein Narr sein Lebenslang." —Martin Luther. MEDIÆVAL LATIN STUDENTS' SONGS Now First Translated into English Verse WITH AN ESSAY BY JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS London CHATTO AND WINDUS, PICCADILLY 1884 TO ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Dear Louis, To you, in memory of past symposia, when wit (your wit) flowed freer than our old Forzato, I dedicate this little book, my pastime through three anxious months. Yours, JOHN ADDINGTON SYMONDS Villa Emily, San Remo, May 1884. Wine, Women, and Song. [1] I. When we try to picture to ourselves the intellectual and moral state of Europe in the Middle Ages, some fixed and almost stereotyped ideas immediately suggest themselves. We think of the nations immersed in a gross mental lethargy; passively witnessing the gradual extinction of arts and sciences which Greece and Rome had splendidly inaugurated; allowing libraries and monuments of antique civilisation to crumble into dust; while they trembled under a dull and brooding terror of coming judgment, shrank from natural enjoyment as from deadly sin, or yielded themselves with brutal eagerness to the satisfaction of vulgar appetites. Preoccupation with the other world in this long period weakens man's hold upon the things that make his life desirable. Philosophy is sunk in the slough of ignorant, perversely subtle disputation[2] upon subjects destitute of actuality. Theological fanaticism has extinguished liberal studies and the gropings of the reason after truth in positive experience. Society lies prostrate under the heel of tyrannous orthodoxy. We discern men in masses, aggregations, classes, guilds—everywhere the genus and the species of humanity, rarely and by luminous exception individuals and persons.

Rudolf F 1 o t z i n g e r (Graz) Es gehort zu den selbstverstandlichen methodischen Grundprin­ zipien, daB mit der Kliirung von Datierung und Provenienz einer Quelle nicht nur zahlreiche neue Gesichts- und Beziehungspunkte erst ermoglicht werden, sondern daB damit auch neue Fragen auftauchen (ob z. B. dadurch bisherige Annahmen bekraftigt oder. widerlegt wer­ den). Seit kurzem scheint nun festzustehen, daB der zu den berilhmte­ sten Zeugnissen des Mittelalters gehorende sogenannte Codex Buranus (Milnchen Clm 4660) aus dem damals jungen Bistum Seckau„ hochst­ wahrscheinlich aus der Umgebung des Bischofs Heinrich von Zwettl (regierte 1232-1243, vor allem in Friesach, Salzburg und Leibnitz) stammt. Trotzdem mag er auch weiterhin Codex Buranus heillen. Die alteren, auf palaographischer und inhaltlicher Basis beruhenden Thesen zur Herkunftsfrage von Max Bildinger1 bis Ferdinand Bischoff2 sind nicht zuletzt durch hymnologische Uberlegungen Walther Lipp­ hardts erhartet worden.3 Dieser war es auch, der durch Vergleiche eine Reihe von Melodien zu den Carmina burana eruiert4 und damit 1 Max Bildinger, Uber einige Reste der Vagantenpoesie in Osterreich.
