The correct name of the piece is the Camina Burana, and it was compossed in 1935-36 by Carl Orff.
The story behind the compossition is really quite interesting. The words to the music come from a manuscript known as the Burana Codex, which includes over a 1000 poems and songs written in the early 13th century, and Orff's version is just one of many. The lyrics themselves are Latin, mixed in with a bit of High German and French. They largly satirize the church of the time which, when you consider that they were most likely written by monks or student monks, makes them even more interesting.
As for listening on-line, your best bet is to find a cheap CD and listen to that. Although the work itself is out of copywrite, the various performances will not be and so the only ones available on-line will be poor reproductions.

The Latin title Carmina Burana or Songs of Beuern was assigned by Johann Andreas Schmeller in 1847. Beuern (from OHG bur = "small house") refers to Benediktbeuern, a village in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps about thirty miles south of Munich which takes its name from the abbey of Benediktbeuern founded there in 733. Subsequent research has shown that the manuscript did not originate there; Seckau Abbey is regarded as a likely earlier location.
The pieces are mostly in Latin - though not in Classical Latin meter - with a few in a dialect of Middle High German, and some snatches of Old French. Many simply are macaronic, a mixture of Latin and German or French vernacular of the time. They were written by students and clergy about 1230, the Latin idiom was the lingua franca across Italy and western European for travelling scholars, universities and theologians. Most of the poems and songs appear to be the work of Goliards, clergy (mostly students) who lampooned and satirized the Church. The collection preserves the works of a number of poets, including Peter of Blois, Walter of Châtillon, and the anonymous one referred to as the Archpoet.
Both spellings - Burana and Purana are mentioned.

Carl Orff. Carmina Burana I think is the proper spelling. Though my spelling is a little bad.
Intense stuff. Any Dutchese Gramophone recording is awsome, and I recommend if you listen to it, you should at least use OGG compression format to get it loud.
