Trionfo di Afrodite (Italian literally Triumph of Aphrodite) is a cantata called concerto scenico (scenic concert) written in 1951 by the German composer Carl Orff. It is part of Trionfi the musical triptych that also includes Carmina Burana and Catulli Carmina. In this case Trionfo refers to the Roman and Renaissance trionfo meaning procession or festival.Like Igor Stravinsky’s Les Noces Trionfo di Afrodite describes rituals for a (in this case Greek-Roman) wedding.
