1. That was the first piece of classical music I really loved.
Before that, it held no interest for me.

2. All of those songs are great
I discovered Carmina Burana when one of my college professors Choral groups performed the whole thing at the Kennedy Center years ago..You should get the English translation of all the music..Its literally wine, women and song...hilarious

3. No, they use it on TV all the time to be ominous and threatening.
Those monks of Beuren were pretty wild and crazy guys.

4. It is if you sing it a capella
and ignore the instrumental portion. :+

But if you really want soothing, try the Knights Dance from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.

6. I love it, but I don't consider it soothing
I think it's grand & epic
