"Carmina Burana" (lat. " Carmina Burana") is a masterpiece of the 20th century (truly “witchcraft music”), a mysterious work, one of a kind. "Burana Codex", manuscript and great monument Renaissance, contained notes and poems of vagantes and wandering monks of the 12th century. According to legend, the author-monk devoted his entire life to serving God, and at the end of his days he looked back at life and saw that God had nothing to do with it: the world was ruled by fickle Fortune. Composer Carl Orff chose 24 songs and wrote them with inhuman beauty, brilliant, hypnotic melodies: grandiose choral passages, Gregorian chants and an orchestra with the most powerful drums in classical music.

A drawing of a wheel was found on the first page of the Burana Codex. It contained four phrases written on the wheel: “I will reign, I reign, I reigned, I am without a kingdom.” The Wheel of Fortune turns, happiness turns into sadness, and hope gives way to grief. Life goes on, the wheel of Fortune turns.
