I’ve absolutely LOVED this for years and years and I’ve just found it on lovely YouTube. It’s from Musica Poetica, Schulwerk: Musik Fur Kinder.
And the video – SHEER GENIUS.

I’ve just found this version – it’s the one I like best so I’m posting both.

Smaktakula
/ June 12, 2012That was beautiful! Heretofore my familiarity with Orff’s oeuvre began and ended with the Carminative Burana.
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 12, 2012Dear Smaktakula,
I tried to get a recording of it for years and now there are a good few on YouTube!! I’ve just been playing them all.

Madame Weebles
/ June 12, 2012Dear Dotty,
Thank you for sharing these. That top video is perfect with the music. I have to admit I hadn’t heard this piece before–I love “Carmina Burana” but didn’t know this one. I’ll have to start checking out a lot more Orff, obviously.

I know. Ridley Scott could learn a thing or two if he watched this.

rachelmiller1511
/ June 12, 2012What’s with the top video?!! They obviously couldn’t afford to hire the whole of Cheryl Cole so opted just for a cameo appearance from her fingers. Bloody recession.
rachelmiller1511
/ June 12, 2012Oh, it’s her feet! Well at least nobody can complain about miming.

/ June 12, 2012Carl Orff to you too.
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 12, 2012Dear Misfit,
I thought about making a fuck Orff title but I’m too mature for that sort of joke.

misfits' miscellany
/ June 12, 2012Not you too, Dotty. There I was thinking you put the poo in Puccini.
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 12, 2012Dear Misfit,
I didn’t put the poo in Puccini. And I didn’t put the Robert in Robert Fuchs either.

misfits' miscellany
/ June 12, 2012OK, I’m going to bed to have an immature conversation with myself.
Dotty Headbanger
/ June 12, 2012Dear Misfit,
Me too. Not the conversation though, I’m not as silly as you.
Goodnight. 🙂

I’ve always loved this piece of music. It was used extensively in the soundtrack of the movie True Romance with Patricia Arquette. Thanks for tracking it down!
