What is theme music played in the recent guinness beer ad?
S Gopal
This ad features a guy seeing the pint of beer and imagines a train full
of people singing the music. It was also featured in some really OLD old
spice (the after shave ads- guy surfing the waves).
I want to get the CD but i do not know the name of the composer
Thanks

fortuna' from Orff's Carmina Burana. I recommend Jochum's version on
Deutsche Grammophon 'Originals'.

There's no such movement -- I believe that's the title of the entire
First Part. The title of the first and last movement is "O Fortuna."

the CD. From the replies that I received it seems that not many USA readers in
this group. Anyway, if any of you have the time, could you write on what the
music is all about? Meaning, what do the lyrics mean?
The above information is not necessary, I would like to know that's all.
Thanks again.

The CD will come with texts and translations. The first-and-last
movement is about how fortunes are constantly changing.

And the rest of its about sex. And drinking.

He. I just realised Guinness have quite slipped up by not using
music from the In Taberna section! (I think it could work quite
well)

Especially the "bibit illus, bibit illa, bibit servus cum ancilla" part.

Not all "Carmina Burana" recordings come with texts and
translations. Some come with a brief complaint about the fact that
licensing these words (written hundreds of years ago) entails paying
enough money in fees to add about a third to the price of a disk.
Often, the box will tell you clearly whether there are texts inside.

No. 15 under "Contents" is a link to the lyrics and English
translation.

glance as I did not even know what the composition was.
I read the lyrics and it is REALLY about sex and drinking :-)
And there is a big thread going on about classical music and "corruption of youth"
:-)
I guess in ALL (meaning independent of origin e.g - Mahabharata, etc..) classical
lyrics and poems, sex and drinking are part of the composition.

Disagree. The work has MANY memorable parts, for different reasons.

That's right. At first, I liked the flashy part the best -- it
didn't hurt that they repeated it, either. On repeated listenings,
there are a lot of memorable bits in the piece. Go see it live some
time, Stephen. It really adds a dimension that the recording misses,
somehow... though after you've seen it live, you can recapture the
feeling with a good recording.
Marco Antonio Spalzo
music is O Fortuna from Carmina Burana, but the lyrics
do not sound like any part of the lyrics as I know them.
What are they singing?
And the solo voice at the beginning does not even sound
like any part of Carmina Burana.
What music is that guy singing at the beginning? And
what text are they singing in the chorus?
And the obvious question -- do they really think they
will sell beer with this completely inappropriate music?
I am very fond of Orff's Carmina Burana, and I believe
I own five versions on CD and two on LP. And I am also
fond of Guinness. I look forward to a certain taproom
where the stout will flow on Friday. I could even drink
the music while listening to the beer. But in the
context of the television ad, there seems to be no reason
to connect the music with the beer.
