Christmas quickie

In the spirit of crass commercialism which is Christmas, I put the following verbiage on my wishlist:

I am told my classical selection is "gloomy," focusing as it does on
requiems and organ music. I'd love help expanding my classical CD
collection.

I received a CD from my mom (who is infinitely more knowledgeable about classical music than I am). I had a guess that she'd read my wish and was going to impart something light and airy, or a nice chamber quartet. What did I find when I opened it?

Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff.

(Note: I love it, but it was completely opposite of what I was expecting, and merited several laughs.)
