"Poem Burana", also known as "The Song of Boylen", is an immortal masterpiece in the history of music and has a profound cultural heritage. These poems and plays were written by wandering poets from the 13th to 14th centuries. They were wandering scholars and clergy throughout England, France, and Germany in the Middle Ages. They were famous for writing satirical rhymes and poems praising wine and carnival and debauchery. "Poem Burana" It embodies the creative style of these wandering poets. The themes and styles of these poems vary, ranging from drinking songs, solemn love poems and indulgent love songs, to religious poems and pastoral lyric poems, as well as satirical poems directed at the church and the government. The composer Orff was greatly shocked when he read "Poem Burana" in 1935. He gave this strange poem new and eternal life with his rough, powerful and passionate music. Orff's "Carmina Burana" was completed in 1936. Its entire title is "Carmina Burana, Secular Songs for Solo and Chorus, Accompanied by Instrumental Music and Wonderful Stage Scenes." It is a grand "situational cantata". Its huge arrangement includes soprano, tenor and baritone solos, a small chorus and a large children's chorus, two pianos and a group of various types. Large orchestral music including percussion instruments. This magnificent work premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on June 8, 1937. It brings people into a completely different world, and its magical music awakens the impulse of joy in human nature with incredible power. Since its release and recording, this work has become the most infectious and stimulating classic choral work. It is also an important teaching material for testing the strength and coordination ability of conductors, orchestras and singers.

"Carmina Burana" is a mysterious poem manuscript from the 13th century. It was hidden deep in a Bavarian monastery for centuries and was unknown. Once it was made public, it shocked the world. It is now The best preserved and most artistically valuable medieval poetry known. As if it comes from heaven and is not a product of earth.

The 20th century German composer Carl Orff (Carl Orff 1895-1982) lived in Bavaria for a long time. He selected 25 poems from this poem manuscript and composed this "Poem Burana" ", divided into three themes: "spring", "wine" and "love".

The preface is magnificent and solemn, as if the composer is trying to build a temple through singing and listening; the first part of the main song, "Spring", is light and bright but also contains far-reaching meaning, with male and female chorus voices alternating The presentation is like the change of day and night in time sequence; the second part "Tavern" is a secular scene, using actor-like falsetto and modulation in the singing, as if describing the world of drunkenness and dreaming in a masked party scene; but strangely it is , the jubilant scene seems as cold as a ghost passing by; in the third part "Love", there are catharsis of longing for love, melancholy praise of love, and simple singing of lust. Among them, a female voice sings "In truitina" "(In the balance) is gorgeous and poignant, and has become a classic repertoire in concerts.

Composer Carl Orff added new melody based on inheriting the classical composition method. He used neo-primitivism elements under the influence of "expressionism" and emphasized percussion components in rhythm, making " Burana perfectly combines medieval minstrelsy with modern singing.

"Poem Burana" is full of surprising elements and drama. It opens and closes, including majestic shouts and euphemistic chants, like a raging torrent crashing into a rock to emit a surging roar. The sound is like a gurgling stream meandering towards the soft grassy beach. The band and the singing complement each other; the shocking percussion is like a call of destiny, which has a strong impact on the soul. "Poem Burana" is a hymn to life, as if God's eyes are watching in the dark. It subtly involves motives such as "faith" and "death" under the guidance of three themes. The tonality has both worldly joy and epic grandeur. The real motivation hidden in it is pity, regret and lament for the short life. To borrow Rilke's poem to describe this work: "The true god of mercy, he comes with majesty, and his light / spreads dazzlingly around him, like the gods. / Stronger than the wind blowing on a stable ship ."
