At one point in this musical work, the choir sings that it would give up the whole world to have the queen of England lie in its arms. 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. This piece's opening movement begins with a "Pesante" section with pounding drums and massive chords sung by the choir, which gives way to a faster, whispered section. 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.
