Carmina Burana
This was exactly what I was looking for so that I can have my own copy to use for our performance.Thank you.

At last CB scores at a fair price
Those greedy Orff heirs have been ripping off American singers for years because we have been stupid enough to pay their inflated prices to perform this popular work.Incidentally the score lists for $35 in America and only $20 in Germany and England.I can't wait until CB goes public domain.After all, it was Carl who created this great work, not those money-grubbing leeches who will then have to go out and get honest work like the rest of us.

Carmina Burana for a Working Singer
This was a good score. Clear and well layed out. ... Read more

From the supplier: Carl Orff: Leben und Werk/Life and Work is a CD-ROM which, like a scrapbook, has more than 400 colorful visual presentations coupled with text and full-motion video clips. The CD includes examples of stage sets for such premieres and later productions as 'Carmina burana,' 'Catulli carmina' and 'Trionfo di Afrodite.' Other offerings are excerpts from Orff's fairy tale operas as well as a discography for every work cited. Although installation information of the CD is in German and a few technical flaws are present, the CD-ROM can prove helpful as an introduction to Orff and to some of his works.
