PhantomFanT10 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Has any corps ever used Carmina Burana as part of their source music? Obviously, it's kinda long, but I'm assuming no corps had made a full show out of it. Any info would be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I thought Carmina Burana was on that list of "Don't even think about arranging me?" or the powers that be will get you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, it's kinda long, but I'm assuming no corps had made a full show out of it. Any info would be great!! Most recently, Blue Stars in 2000. BLUE STARS Consistency is a hallmark of Blue Stars, as the corps has placed in the top five in every Division II or III World Championship since 1987, and has won the Division III Championship twice. This year’s show is Carmina Burana, utilizing seven movements from the over two dozen comprising Carl Orff’s dramatic cantata. The work is based on a collection of 13th Century student songs and poems that were discovered in a Bavarian monastery. The movements extracted for the show include some of the most melodically lilting and rhythmically captivating pieces in contemporary symphonic literature, including; Were diu werlt alle min, Tanz, In taberna, Veni, veni, venias, In trutina, Ave formosissima, and O Fortuna. In 1989, Limited Edition from Columbus, Ohio did some movements from the work and placed 24th. Edited April 12, 2006 by Michael Boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was during the 1989 season. Also that season Sky Ryders played it too. So actually ALOT of corps have played the music, just not really recently. I hear it is hard to get rights to arrange...

knightsbari Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Im entreagued to know how any corps who has done music from Carmina Burana has been able to get the rights to it, thats if they even did ... The Orff Family is VERY VERY anal about the work being performed ouside of a orchestral or ballet setting. on a side note next month will be my 2nd time singing Carmina Burana this year alone so far.

jlb15 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I've seen a lot of marching bands use Carmina Burana. I recall Northmont High School in Ohio as doing it a few years back. It was quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brakedrum Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 this is an awesome piece, but im quite tired of seeing it done on a football field...it is, since the late 70's/early 80's a cliche....please do not do it anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you notice from the previously posted list, alot of the corps that played it were from back in "The Dark Ages", before DVD, CD, etc... sales were a big thing. Back then, (at least through when I aged out in 81) copyright permissions were something that nobody ever thought about. If you wanted to play a piece, you arranged it and did it. Heck, in the 70s, every other corps on the field was playing something by Chuck Mangione, and copyrights of his stuff were never an issue. C.M. actually became quite the Drum Corps fan (B.D. performed with him) and even credited Drum Corps with helping his rise to popularity.It wasn't until all the sales of recordings started getting big and money was being made that this ever became an issue. Just my $.02 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
