Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana” (8-bit Cover Album)

 

Written between 1935 and 1936, Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata based on a book of medieval poetry.  This was a hugely important piece of music to me growing up.  I’d like to say that it wasn’t Ozzy Osbourne using O Fortuna as his entry music while playing live that got me interested in this piece of work, however, I would be lying if I said that.

Later in life I would see this performed live at the Lincoln Center in New York City which would rekindle my interest in this piece of music and allow me to explore the other two works of this musical trilogy: Catulli Carmina and Trionfo di Afrodite.

Working with large orchestral works tends to make the sounds of the NES resemble the sound of organs.  Layering all the tracks over one another is often reminiscent of a work heavy with synths.  I tried to keep these as 8-bit as possible but there’s so much going on with the layering and the dynamics that either I am desensitized to the 8-bit sounds or it loses a little of that NES feel to it.

  17. I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you will have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the problem is one thing that not sufficient individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something referring to this.

  18. One other thing is that an online business administration program is designed for learners to be able to smoothly proceed to bachelor’s degree courses. The Ninety credit college degree meets the other bachelor diploma requirements and once you earn your current associate of arts in BA online, you’ll have access to up to date technologies in this particular field. Some reasons why students would like to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in the field and want to obtain the general schooling necessary ahead of jumping into a bachelor diploma program. Thanks for the tips you actually provide as part of your blog.
