Orff, Carl. (1895-1982)
Catulli Carmina. Ludi scaenici. - INSCRIBED AND ANNOTATED BY THE COMPOSER
Mainz: B. Schott's Sohne. 1943. First edition. Klavierauszug Edition 3990. 75 pp. 4°. Initialled and inscribed by Orff on the title page in blue ink "Wohl bekomm's!! C. O. Juni: 54" [I hope you like it!!] and with corrections and alterations in Orff's hand on 7 pages, also in blue ink. There are extensive markings and textual and notational changes in red and graphite pencil on a further 11 pages but these appear not to be in Orff's hand. It is likely that the composer oversaw a performance of this by someone else, gave him the score in which he had marked his impressions and some alterations and that the additional markings were made under the composer's supervision. The score in original illustrated wrappers, in very fine condition.Catulli Carmina (Ludi Scaenici) is a cantata by Carl Orff dating from 1940-1943. The work sets the texts of Catullus to music and Orff himself provided the text, in Latin, of the opening. Catulli Carmina is part of Trionfi, the musical triptych that also includes the Carmina Burana and Trionfo di Afrodite. (7549)
