Lovers of Carmina Burana, here's the flip side of Carl Orff. Similar methods--simple material repeated in intricate patterns--but an entirely different outcome. Schulwerk, a collection of teaching pieces begun in 1930 and further extended in the 1950s, is a collaboration between Orff and colleague Gunild Keetman that celebrates the primacy of rhythm and pulse in our musical makeup and shows that educational music need never be dull. This disc, the first of a series that appeared in the centennial year of Orff's birth (1995), features performers who worked with the composer during his lifetime. The renditions can be considered definitive. --Ted Libbey

Children Love this Music

My two boys love this cd. When my first child was a mere 8 months, I could instantly calm him down by putting this in and playing it for less than a minute.

I think it is a must for every parent's music library.

Orff-Schulwerk Vol. 1: Musica Poetica

Most people's first taste of Carl Orff comes from his grand sweeping, 'Carmina Burana' score but few often hear some of his more delicate and simple works. Orff-Schulwerk is literally music that Orff composed for students. The compositions are broken up by the particular instrument they were written for and are simple, brief, and quite and enjoyable listen. If you are of German descent you will appreciate this even more as Orff incorporates German folk music in to some of the compositions.

Brief Trivia: The first track was used in the Terrence Malick's, "Badlands".

Natural rhythm, but what is this black soul stuff..

Orff is a white man with natural rhythm. So what. The music stands on its own as what it was meant to be: Studies and practice in rhythm for young children. But it is so complex and sophisticated that one never tires of it, with new aspects of its complexity showing themselves each time.

True Musica: Orff v. Zimmer, "Badlands" v. "True Romance"

Carl Orff fans must read the jewel in this CD's booklet found at the bottom of the 6th page from the back in "THE RECORDING" section. It relates the "unwanted merriment on the occasion of Orff's 75th birthday" concerning a performance of the first (and most famous) song in this collection. This recording is great and commences with a rich (though slower) rendition of the "Badlands" theme "Gassenhauer" ("Streetsong") on track 1. Unfortunately, there never was a soundtrack album produced for "Badlands". I can not find any of the other "Badlands" songs from Musica Poetica on this CD and none are on the companion CD "O-S Vol. 2 / Musik fur kinder". "The Best Of Carl Orff", BMG 75605 51357 2, 1999 has the original "Gassenhauer" plus one of the other "Badlands" songs from Musica Poetica - Passion (house fire music). All Badlands Orff/Keetman songs can, however, be found on the 1994 BMG release (RCA Victor Red Seal) 6-CD box set version of the original Orff/Keetman recordings done between 1963 & 1975 on 10 LPs. There are at least 4 other "Badlands" pieces!

There are at least 5 other "Badlands" pieces (09026 68031 2)! Keetman did two of the other 5 mentioned above, Orff the other 3.

Now for the truth: The main theme "Gassenhauer" was composed by Orff's associate Gunild Keetman BASED ON A 1536 WORK FOR LUTE BY HANS NEUSIEDLER! Orff's stated goal for the Schulwerk: "Improvisations which encourage further improvisation". This is precisely what Hans Zimmer did when he PRODUCED (no writing credits on soundtrack CD) 3 pieces loosely based on "Gassenhauer" for the film "True Romance", written by Quentin Tarantino as his tribute to the movie "Badlands": "You're So Cool", "Stars At Dawn", & "Amid The Chaos Of The Day". These are a fine & fitting tribute to Malick, Keetman/Orff, and, yes, especially Nuesiedler - Zimmer did NOT "rip off Orff". Is not imitation the sincereist form of flattery?
