Soprano Isabel BayrakdarianNot sure about the associated video, but it was the best recording I could find on Youtube. Have loved this since I was about 5 years old. Its by a guy called Carl Orf and is early last century although it is all sung in Latin. Its very ribald actually, if you read the translation. :wink: This particular bit has been used in loads of films and adverts. I think it was in Excaliber with Sean Connery in it. Lovely shot of them all riding through an apple orchard to this, very evocative.
whilst on favourites….. got to share this one
I did find some stuffed shirts waving sticks around, but thought this was more serene as a backdrop to the sound.
