Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff:
Performed by FHSU Signers, FHSU Concert Choir, the Smoky Hill Chorale, and the Hays Symphony.

One of the most famous choral works of all time. Soaring and gorgeous, earthy and bawdy, the epic Carmina Burana celebrates the ephemeral nature of life, the joys of spring, drinking, gambling, gluttony and lust – and also their cost. Filled with driving rhythmic changes and harmonies, its inventive, percussive score beckons to our primitive nature.
