Editing Catulli Carmina (section)

==The music==
{{unreferenced section|date=March 2025}}
The orchestra only plays in the prelude and postlude, whereas in the Catullus play itself, the soloists are only accompanied by the chorus, which takes the part of a [[Greek chorus]]. The piece experiments with repeated phrases and syncopated rhythms even more so than ''Carmina Burana''. Scholars have debated the reason why this is such a lesser-known work, compared to its predecessor. It has been suggested that, with the fall of [[Nazi Germany]] and the depressed feeling of Europe in the aftermath of [[World War II]], for a long time it simply did not have the opportunity to be presented to any large audience.
