For this New Sounds, take a new look at the medieval German music, especially the Carmina Burana - the surprisingly earthy songs by monks which inspired Carl Orff's famous oratorio of that name. Listen to takes on these songs from a brand new record by John Potter and The Dowland Project. There's also something from the Berry Hayward Consort, music from Estampie, and more.

hi
i'm trying to understand what the "stream" function is when go to open a newsounds program archive. i dont know what it means, dont know how or why i should open it, and cant find software that speaks to it. otherwise, things are fine. would you please help this technically incompetent person to understand what is going on?
Dear Mr. Schaefer,
Thank you for the music tonight; it is beautiful.
I have a question about Carmina Burana.
When I was a child, sometime in the 1960s or 1970s, I heard from adults (political activists at that time, who loved Orff's work in part because of its political history) that there was a group of Monks who sang Carmina Burana who were killed for it. I don't remember when or where, but I believe it was in the Middle Ages. I can't find anything about that online. Have you ever heard this? Can you suggest where I might find the answer?
Thanks again.
--Jenny
