Carl Orff, Olympia

I've been a very big fan of Orff's 'Musica Poetica' (exercises designed by Orff and collaborator Gunild Keetman to train children how to play instruments) since hearing it used unforgettably in Terrence Malick's BADLANDS (and copied unapologetically by Hans Zimmer in the BADLANDS homage TRUE ROMANCE). If you like those sweet tunes, here's some fantastic music along similar lines composed for the 1936 Olympics hosted by the Nazi party and filmed famously in OLYMPIA by propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.
