From the first thundering chords of ?O Fortuna,? it?s hard to mistake ?Carmina Burana.? First performed in 1937, Carl Orff?s masterpiece has become a favorite among classical music fans. Snatches of the rhythmic, passionate work can be heard in commercials or during dramatic movie moments. If fact, parts of ?Carmina Burana? pop up in about 20 sound-tracks, from ?Speed? to ?Cheaper by the Dozen.?
