Quotes

“I am often asked why I nearly always select old material, fairy tales and legends for my stage works. I do not look upon them as old, but rather as valid material. The time element disappears, and only the spiritual power remains. My entire interest is in the expression of spiritual realities. I write for the theater in order to convey a spiritual attitude.”
“Experience first, then intellectualize.”
“Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child's play.”

Carl Orff wurde am 10. Juli 1895 in München geboren und wuchs in einer musikalischen Familie auf. Seine Leidenschaft für Musik durfte er schließlich zum Beruf machen. Als Lehrer experimentierte er mit Sprache, Musik und Bewegung. Er entdeckte alte Musik und außereuropäische Musikinstrumente für sich. Mit Carmina Burana feierte er seinen Durchbruch. Den dort gefundenen Stil entwickelte er in seinem weiteren Schaffen fort. Nach langen Jahren in Dießen am Ammersee verstarb er 1982 in seiner Geburtsstadt. Carl Orff führte ein faszinierendes und vielseitiges Leben. Neben seiner musikalischen Karriere als Komponist war er als Pädagoge, Wortschöpfer und Theatermacher aktiv. Carl Orffs Carmina Burana zählen zu den erfolgreichsten Chorwerken des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Orff-Schulwerk hat sich zu einer international anerkannten und weit verbreiteten Methode der musikalischen Bildung und Erziehung entwickelt.
