Two records held together: Schott Music's own publisher catalogue entry for "O Fortuna, No. 1 of Carmina Burana" (product ED 2877-01, composer Carl Orff, 1936), and the Des Moines Symphony's own programme notes for a performance of the complete cantata. The orchestra's own note states the work "frames its three main sections with a prologue and epilogue featuring Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi," quoting the chorus itself on the wheel of fortune turning and casting the goddess as the cosmic power the whole cantata answers to.
