User Reviews
Nice, clear, and large rating: 5
This score is what you'd expect from a German publisher (Schott -- Hal Leonard is only the distributor) -- very clearly and legibly printed on excellent paper -- with the small print in the old men's score in comparison I was hopelessly lost.
Having all parts (including solos) together also helps a lot.
But you lose compactness - you'll have to hold a pretty heavy book in hand, and do a lot of page flipping, so it's not for everyone.
Beats heck out of the part score for chorus rating: 5
This book has the full vocal score, well-printed, well laid-out. If you're doing Carmina, you want this score! Clear type, adequate size, good binding, and you can see what the other parts are doing, which really helps most choral singers.
Expensive, but worth it. Particularly if you're going to do Carmina maybe 5-10 times in your career.
Music score rating: 4
The music scores are just perfect. The timeliness of delivery is better than I expect. I recieved them much earlier than the published official "snail mail" pace (up to 4 weeks)of SuperSaver free shipping option. It is disappointing if indeed it does take several weeks to mail pages of sheet music from the warehouse while business is conducted at internet speed.
Carmina Burana rating: 5
This was exactly what I was looking for so that I can have my own copy to use for our performance. Thank you.
At last CB scores at a fair price rating: 5
Those greedy Orff heirs have been ripping off American singers for years because we have been stupid enough to pay their inflated prices to perform this popular work. Incidentally the score lists for $35 in America and only $20 in Germany and England. I can't wait until CB goes public domain. After all, it was Carl who created this great work, not those money-grubbing leeches who will then have to go out and get honest work like the rest of us.
