More than that, one tune only. Aside from "O Fortuna" and the second number, Carmina Burana is pretty dull stuff. But then "O Fortuna" returns at the end and sends you out of the concert hall on a high. I recollect also its use in the film "Excalibur" to accompany shots of knights in armour charging through an orchard full of apple blossom.
