In [[pedagogy|pedagogical]] circles he is probably best remembered for his ''[[Orff Schulwerk|Schulwerk]]'' ("School Work"). Originally a set of pieces composed and published for the ''Güntherschule'' (which had students ranging from 12 to 22),<ref>Carl Orff Documentation trans. Margaret Murray, published by [[Schott Music]], 1978</ref> this title was also used for his books based on radio broadcasts in Bavaria in 1949. These pieces are collectively called ''Musik für Kinder'' (''Music for Children''), and also use the term ''Schulwerk'', and were written in collaboration with his former pupil, composer and educator [[Gunild Keetman]] (1904–1990), who actually wrote most of the settings and arrangements in the "Musik für Kinder" ("Music for Children") volumes.

Orff's ideas were developed, together with Gunild Keetman, into a very innovative approach to music education for children, known as the Orff Schulwerk. The music is elemental and combines movement, singing, playing, and improvisation.

''[[Gassenhauer]]'', ''Hexeneinmaleins'', and ''Passion'', which Orff composed with Keetman, were used as theme music for [[Terrence Malick]]'s film ''[[Badlands (film)|Badlands]]'' (1973).
