A swan being roasted upon a spit
This work is split up into five sections, one of which, "In the meadow," is sung in German. A section of this work, titled "In the tavern," contains movements about gambling and drinking. In "Were the world mine," this work's lyrics suggest starving one's self of the world so that the queen of England may lie in your arms. The opening and finishing pieces of this work sing an entity that is "variable / like the moon" that always "wax[es] and wane[s]." A swan being roasted upon a spit sings one section of this work, which describes chance as "Empress of the World" in another section. For 10 points, name this cantata written by Carl Orff that contains the movement "O Fortuna."
