My thanks to Emily Gray for the picture.
1895 --- 19??
Carl was born in Munich in 1895. Besides his work as a composer, Orff has been an active teacher, holding a position at the Munich Academy of Music, being active in methods of musical education of children, as well as working as a conductor and as a editor of old music.
His work in this last field has coloured his own music, like the well known scenic cantata, Carmina Burana.
The style of this like most of Orff's works, is clear and uncomplicated, using simple and effective melodic and rhythmic elements, building up to climaxes by repetition and avoiding contrapuntal procedures.
