The contrast between spirit and sensitivity -that is, between seriousness and entertainment- has been a constant in Western culture. Let us take the 13th century as a temporary example: the cult of courtly love sung by the serious Mediterranean troubadours had its distracted reply in the poems that, in an earthy language, explicit from a cynical and irreverent perspective, were written by friars known as goliards. Vices of all kinds, strident social and religious criticism and, above all, a commitment to a free will were his credentials, which Carl Orff immortalized with exciting and sensual music at the same time: Carmina Burana. For those who mistrust tomorrow, let's take advantage of today. Carpe Diem!
