Carl Orff's O Fortuna in popular culture
In 1935–36, the 13th-century poem "O Fortuna" was set to music by the German composer Carl Orff for his twenty-four-movement cantata ''Carmina Burana''. The composition appears in numerous films and television commercials〔Eric Friesen, ("Carmina Burana: The Big Mac of Classical Music?" ), ''Queen's Quarterly'', Summer 2011 .〕 and has become a staple in popular culture, setting the mood for dramatic or cataclysmic situations.〔("O Fortuna" in popular culture. )〕 For instance, it is used to portray the torment of Jim Morrison's drug addiction in the film ''The Doors.''〔(IMDB entry for soundtrack of Oliver Stone's film ''The Doors'' )〕 In 1983, Doors' keyboardist Ray Manzarek released his third solo album, ''Carmina Burana'', which is an interpretation of the piece in a contemporary framework.
"O Fortuna" has been called "the most overused piece of music in film history",〔Jeff Bond, ( Review of ''Mission Impossible 2'' ), ''Film Score Monthly'', July 2000, p. 35.〕 and ''Harper's Magazine'' columnist Scott Horton has commented that "Orff’s setting may have been spoiled by its popularization" and its use "in movies and commercials often as a jingle, detached in any meaningful way from its powerful message."〔Scott Horton, ("O Fortuna!" ), ''Harper's Magazine'', September 7, 2008.〕
