History Music / CarminaBurana

''Carmina Burana'' can be used for a little bit of musical snobbery, distinguishing the people who recognize the work for what it is[[note]]"O Fortuna" is basically [[EmoTeen a college student complaining about how life isn't fair, and probably lamenting a loss at the gambling table]][[/note]] from those who only know it as the music from ''TheOmen'' (or ''{{Finlandia}}'', or ''Film/DieHard 2'').

* {{Ministry}}'s "No W" samples "O Fortuna" in it's intro - or at least the version heard in the music video and the ''Rock Against Bush'' compilation does; the album version edits that section out, possibly for copyright reasons.

Scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff between 1935 and 1936, based on [[AdaptationDistillation a collection of medieval poems]].The piece lasts about an hour and has serious moments, goofy moments, and more than its share that are pure {{Narm}}. The lyrics cover all aspects of medieval life from sex, to drinking to the plight of sentient, talking roasted swans. If you've ever heard them and think that [[LyricalDissonance they don't sound a bit like this]], you're right. As an unfortunate footnote, it remains the most famous piece of music to emerge from NaziGermany.

It's the money part, [[http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=o+fortuna&aq=f "O Fortuna"]], that people remember, due to it being one of the the most famous examples of OminousLatinChanting as well as one of the most overused trailer songs in history. (see RecycledTrailerMusic). It's also a fine example of CanisLatinicus; not only is it in Medieval Latin, which differs greatly from the classical language, but it's also sung with what can best be described as a French accent, stressing the last syllables of each word. In proper Latin, the stress on each word is generally placed on the penultimate syllable, but that doesn't fit well into the music.

* ''Veris Ieta Facies'' [[LyricalDissonance (The joyous face of Spring)]], a less known cantata from the original piece, [[OminousLatinChanting plays]] during the [[TorturePorn grand finale]] of the [[{{Gorn}} Circle of Blood]] in ''SaloOrThe120DaysOfSodom''.

* The original version of "One Winged Angel" from ''FinalFantasyVII'' borrows its lyrics from ''Carmina Burana'' (with the exception of an insertion of the villain's name). The song was given original, more thematically-fitting lyrics later on for its appearance in ''KingdomHearts'' and ''[[TheMovie AdventChildren]]''.

* Performed by an amateur symphony orchestra in Kinshasa, Congo, on a 2012 episode of SixtyMinutes.

* In ''SchlockMercenary'', Ennessby [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-10-13 orders a bunch of fabber robots to sing it.]]

* ''Glory'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz1ozAleaM4 "Charging Fort Wagner"]], which plays at the climatic, well, charge on Fort Wagner, is no small homage the ''Carmina Burana''.

* ''TheCritic'''s greatest shame is his film school project, "The Wedding of Prometheus". In the middle of this mercifully-short short subject, he edited in a montage of just about every cheesy film cliche imaginable, including the Kool-Aid Man breaking through a wall, and set it to the tune of "O Fortuna".

No relation to [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], although a combination of the two would undeniably be ''[[NinjaPirateZombieRobot awesome as hell]]''

* Trailers for ''SouthPark : [[TheMovie Longer Bigger And Uncut]]'' used "O Fortuna" to mock the song's then-overuse in other film trailers.
