Carl Orff chose the lyrics of 22 songs and added the dances of 2 ones, which was co-performed by choirs, bands and dancers. This thesis is based on the first three choruses, "O Fortuna","Fortune plango vulnera" and "Veris leta facies", as the research theme. It was divided into five chapters. Chapter one, introduction, defines the research aspects. Chapter two researches into Carl Orff's background and the style of his music works.
