SONGS FROM BENEDIKTBEUERN In 1803, a manuscript of texts was discovered in an old monastery of Benediktbeuern in Upper Bavaria near Munich. The collection, preserved since the 13th century, included hundreds of poems and dozens of songs which had been notated over a period of one hundred years. In 1953, composer Carl Orff discovered the scores, chose two dozen of the most intriguing and organized them into three sections with a prologue and epilogue. Orff’s principal aim, evident in Carmina Burana, (translation = Songs from Benediktbeuern) has been a "total theatre" where music, words, and movement work together in producing an overwhelming effect. The verses of his Carmina Burana are earthy and unpretentious, some ribald, some erotic, some sardonic and some even tender. Stephen Mills’ choreographic work does not seek to tell a narrative story but rather to capture what he feels is the dominant element of this important piece of music: rhythm.
