Its one of those songs that just sends shivers down your spine! Sorry I didn't make it on Saturday, I was feeling really bad about not making it. Your spinning looks great though! What fleece did you use for this batch? Oh I LOVE Oh Fortuna! Its one of those songs that just sends shivers down your spine!

Me, I'm more of a Baroque person. I love your wheel. As long as you're happy with your yarn, then your wheel is successful at what it does! And please tell Kate that her fortune cookie is very clever. Carmina Burana is one of my DH’s favorite works of music. Me, I’m more of a Baroque person. I love your wheel.

Don't know if he was defrocked for it, but ... well, it's a work which harkens back to pagan rites of Spring and such. I think, personally, that it's a work which is probably better performed by recovering <a href="http://www.huutajat.org/" rel="nofollow">Finnish Shouting Choir</a> members, because it is really so ... shouted at some points. Love it, though. What was the fortune cookie made of? Plus, it was written by a monk.

I had the mis-fortuna to be roped into singing in it a few years ago (college duty etc). It didn't make much sense to me when we were rehearsing it, but getting to see it performed live made it all worthwhile. The tenor soloist that did it with us was a complete nutter. He has a solo all to himself at one point. If I remember correctly, it's about things blossoming in the spring, and I think there's an analogy of the duckling into a swan. Well, our soloist, when it came to his turn, JUMPED out of his seat and threw piles of feathers into the air while he shrieked his heart out. The feathers slowly wafted down around him much to the (hidden from audience) considerable amusement of our conductor (and very not hidden) hilarity of the choir and orchestra. He was a nut, but the only part I can remember now! The meaning of the lyrics are worth checking out, they are really durty :D Carmina Burana *is* scary-sounding music!
