At rehearsal tonight for Phoenix Symphony Chorus, we sang through the entire score of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. You know the big piece that starts out "O! For-tu-na!!!" really loud and then goes quiet and intense: "semper crescis" etc, etc, etc. With lots and lots of banging percussion? It has been in many a movie -most people will recognize that part. Well, I'd only sung that beginning part before. But after singing through all 25 sections, I found out that it is a very wild and intense piece! It is seriously so much fun to sing. It is going to be an amazing concert!
The concert isn't till April 23rd and 25, but you can check out more about it here.

I love the section sung by the swan as it slowly roasts on the spit...
