CARL ORFF

10th July 1895 --- 29th March 1982

Carl was born in Munich in 1895. Besides his work as a composer, Orff has been an active teacher, holding a position at the
Munich Academy of Music, being active in methods of musical education of children,  as well as working as a conductor and
as a editor of old music.

His work in this  last field has coloured his  own music,  like the now well  known scenic cantata,  Carmina Burana.  Its first
performance was in Frankfurt in 1937,  the music was  accompanied by mimed action, and  consists of settings  of songs of
wine and women from the 13th century manuscript found at the Benedikbeuren monastery in Bavaria.

The style of this like nearly all of Orff's works, is clear and uncomplicated, using simple and effective melodic and rhythmic
elements, building  to climaxes by repetition  and avoiding contrapuntal procedures.  From the age of 40  Orff has devoted
himself exclusively to music for the theatre, from incidental music to operas such as Antigone 1949.
