Good for him!

Fortune plango vulnera stillantibus ocellis
quod sua michi munera subtrahit rebellis.
Verum est, quod legitur,
fronte capillata,
sed plerumque sequitur
occasio calvata.

I know the baritone parts of all of Carmina Burana by heart, and it is my top favourite (neo)classical work.

Or to put it another way:

Fortune plan go vulnerable distillation vermicellis
quid skua mi chi remunerate subtrahend rebellions.
Serum est, quid legit,
fronter capillarity,
used plectrum requited
occasion Calvary.

I goofed! Listening to it, I would have bet heavy money that it was Pete Seeger!

Too late! No bets now.

O Fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis.....etc

Like George - know it well,and have sung it chorally many times. But I never thought I'd hear it on banjo! Ain't life grand?

Did anybody see that UK tv thing where the posh music bloke trained a council estate choir to sing O Fortuna ?

If you're intersted in playing Baroque music with others, a banjo does well in the trumpet parts--similar sharp attack.

"Smashing !! I may check Mr. Bull out."

Sorry to point this out, but that piece was probably recorded over forty years ago. Sandy Bull ruined his chances for a long career by obusing drugs. He was born in 1941, died in 2001.

Quite right pdq,

quote from the article linked in my second post.

"So fast forward to 1963, and Bull's first record, which had been recorded a year earlier and somehow managed to take in some William Byrd, a Fantasy based on Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, gospel, mountain music, as well as a side long piece, Blend, which teamed his fretwork with the the drumming of Billy Higgins, best known for his time with Ornette Coleman. In other words, not your standard LP."
