Lowri Blake explores the history of well-known pieces of music. Carl Orff's celebration of life and love has become one of the most popular pieces in the concert hall. Lowri talks to performers, including conductor Marin Alsop, and the members of the chorus who have to get their tongues round the often raunchy Latin text.
