...Latin! Actually Orff's version of The Songs of Catullus is one of the most fascinating pieces of music composed in this century (completed in 1943). Its explicit text by Catullus (847-54 B.C.) is a delightfully, powerfully pagan ode to the joys and heartbreaks of love and lust.

It is the au pair girl (later Nicer O'Pair) who, like Earwicker's sleeping daughter in Finnegans Wake, stirs the men's fantasies of commingled lust and guilt. At other times they worry about work, dream about traveling; sometimes timetables rip like trains through Ecks's brain...
