This is an exciting and rhythmically demanding piece of music and will be accompanied by two pianist and 5 percussionist all of whom are professional musicians, in an arrangement by the composer. This will be the choir’s most adventurous undertaking since its inception in 2006 under the direction of Tom Pargeter. The music for Carmina Burana was composed by Carl Orff in 1935 and based on 24 of the surviving poems which were part of a collection from a manuscript probably dating between the 11th and 13th centuries. The text which is mainly in mediaeval Latin also contains poems in High German.and tell of the joy of the coming of Spring and the pleasures and perils which accompany it, along with the fickleness of fortune! The choir of more than 60 singers will be accompanied by Nataliya Khomyak and Jean Hancock on two pianos and five local percussionists led by Santiago Dura Mascarell of the San Miguel Music School, all of whom are professional musicians. The soprano soloist is Mary Coffield from England, is no stranger to San Miguel as she has taken part in several Opera Weeks and will be joined by Arthur Berwick, baritone.
