Another movement has a boys' choir echoing the baritone soloist's line, "Oh! oh! oh! Totus floreo." The "In the Tavern" section of this work uses only male chorus and soloists.

That movement is addressed to the Roman personification of luck. For 10 points, name this cantata set to medieval poetry by Carl Orff, best known for its "O Fortuna" movement.
