Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
The text “Ad cor tuum” (no. 26 in the Codex Buranus) has been attributed to Philip the Chancellor (born after 1160, died 1236, Chancellor of Notre-Dame in Paris). In the manuscript this group of texts is preceded by the heading “De correctione hominum”, loosely translated as “moral lectures” or “sermons”. One should finally acknowledge one's own miserable condition, listen to one's heart again (“Ad cor tuum revertere”; return to your heart) and direct one's steps to the path of justice. The insistent questions, relentlessly honest, are a wake-up call. The music is soft and recitative-like; it is the admonishing plea of a woman. The piece demands an expressive performance.

Composer
Peter Schindler
| 1960Composer, pianist and organist Peter Schindler writes and performs music for ballets and theatrical performances, films and dramatic recordings, instrumental and choral arrangements, chansons and sacred works. He is particularly passionate about his compositions for children and young adults, which has come to comprise hundreds of humourous children’s songs (Kinderhits mit Witz). His full-length musicals include Geisterstunde auf Schloss Eulenstein (Witching Hour at Eulenstein Castle), Max und die Käsebande (Max and the Cheese Gang), König Keks (Cookie King), Zirkus Furioso (Circus Allegro), and SCHOCKORANGE. These musicals are some of the most frequently played pieces of their kind by children’s and youth choirs in German-speaking theaters and schools. With his first English musical Circus Allegro, Peter’s hugely sucessful work for all kids under 100 is now also accessible to audiences around the world.
