If these words are used in Orff's version, where are they/where should they be? If I listened to it (on Napster), would I hear this part? Perhaps the countertenor is often left out? ("vive il cotello" and all that).



That's it. They're not used in Orff's version. He took verses 1, 3, and 5 of the original 5 verse poem in the collection of a hundred some odd wild and wooly love, drinking and generally rowdy songs and poems collected by medieval monks of the Benediktbeuren Monastery.
