Carmina Burana
Benediktbeuern
Carl Orff
When i was in Coimbatore, I used to watch an ad on TVfor Old Spice after shave lotion which had some striking background music. Some basic research revealed that the score was called Carmina Burana by a German composer called Carl Orff ( pic 3) .He had set to music a text ( pic 1 is the cover ) containing tavern songs and love songs which were given the collective name Carmina Burana and had been discovered in a Bavarian monastery ( pic 2).
