...Headaches. At 64, Composer Orff is more confirmed than ever in the direction he took in 1936, when he completed Carmina Bur ana, his first major work, and ordered all his previous manuscripts destroyed. Orff totally rejects the idea of "pure music," never writes for the concert hall.

Another mineral is a rich reality. In 1941 a trader picked up a big black stone to ballast his canoe on the Amapari River, later had it analyzed. It turned out to be 60% pure manganese, and today the mine is the Amazon's biggest enterprise, shipping out 75,000 tons a year...
