Based on 24 mediaeval Latin poems whose carefree spirit contrasts vividly with the traditional concepts of life and death in the Middle Ages, this sweeping and powerful cantata for large-scale chorus, orchestra and soloists was a huge success at its premiere in 1937.
Its worldwide popularity since then has made it a firm favourite with among singers and audiences alike. It will be accompanied by the 9th Symphony by Beethoven with his immortal Ode to Joy.
