A Conversation for 'Carmina Burana' - Drink, Sex and Medieval Monks
Carmina Burana
John-Clayton Started conversation Feb 14, 2007
On Radio 4 just before 10 o'clock this morning (Wednesday 14 February 2007) Stravinsky's Les Noces was broadcast and I was struck by the similarity to Carmina Burana. The rhythms and melodies were almost identical even if the notes were different. The Radio Times says the Les Noces broadcast was the 1917 version. Since Camina Burana wasn't composed till the 1930s, did Carl Orff plagiarise Stravinsky?
