"O Fortuna" is a #medievalLatin #Goliardic #poem which is part of the collection known as the #CarminaBurana, written in the early 13th century. It is a complaint about Fortuna, the inexorable fate that rules both gods and mortals in #RomanAndGreekMythology. In 1935–36, #OFortuna was set to music by German composer #CarlOrff as a part of "#FortunaImperatrixMundi", the opening and closing #movement of his #cantata Carmina Burana.
