Carl Orff’s iconic setting of poetry from the wildly varied medieval collection called Carmina Burana ranges from the impassioned and oft-quoted plea of “O Fortuna” to the irreverent tavern song “In taberna quando sumus.” The cantata, chronicling earthly delights and inexorable fate, was juxtaposed with new works by acclaimed composers Ellis Ludwig-Leone and Kelly Moran inspired by Orff’s masterwork, and performed by the Manhattan Choral Ensemble and the innovative percussion and piano quartet Yarn|Wire.
