Carmina Burana is composed of 24 different movements.
Some of them being light, some for love and passions, some for them for dances, poems, etc...
O Fortuna, which is the first and the last movements is "a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the 13th century [...]. It is a complaint about Fortuna, the inexorable fate that rules both gods and men in Roman and Greek mythology"
"It can be heard in numerous movies and television commercials and has become a staple in popular culture, setting the mood for dramatic or cataclysmic situations."
So unless you throw your wine on the table of the tavern, I believe that for H&H, it'd more suitably apply to epic battles.
