Today I went to the Tucson Symphony's performance of Carmina Burana, which was fantastic. It gave me lots of happy memories of one of my favorite high school teachers, who taught us a few of the songs in Latin class. I think he chose the safest-for-teaching-to-minors songs, but I'm still kind of amazed he could teach that. I also studied Middle High German later, and I love that a few of the songs are in that. Today's concert had English subtitles going across a screen over the stage. It was funny to hear the audience giggle quietly as some of the subtitles came across. This piece is like 85% about sex, I think, and maybe some season ticket holders didn't know that? I don't think I've ever heard it live before, and it was really wonderful music. #Tucson #ClassicalMusic
