Thursday night before the NFL game, the owner of the New England team reveled the championship banner at the stadium. The music was very familar yet I can’t recall the name of the piece or composser. I am sure I have heard it in movies before. Chorus of voices and orchestra, really strident and intense.
Please tell me what it is. From an opera maybe?
From your description, I’ll bet a nickel it was something from Carmina Burana by Karl Orff.
Biffy’s got it. It was the ubiquitous “O Fortuna,” from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a Cafe Society sticky - “Want to know what that piece of music was? Try Carmina Burana.”
Yeah, it’s usually either that or “Rio”…
Thank you so much.
