July 10 - Carl Orff (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Carl Orff (10 July 1895 – 29 March 1982) is largely remembered for his enduringly popular Carmina Burana, and his pedagogical Schulwerk.

Semper crescis

It always makes me sort of sad

When “O fortuna’s” in an ad.

And yet, no doubt, this hymn to Fate

Makes money for the Orff estate,

And infra dig as they may find it,

I’ll bet his happy heirs don’t mind it.
