Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
The love poems in the Codex Buranus are extraordinarily varied. In contrast to courtly love poetry, there is a strong focus here on physical pleasure, which is described in very concrete terms. Text no. 87 reads, “Love is sweeter than honey, it becomes more bitter than bile; love makes you blind, knows no shame. It is foolhardy and fearful, faithful but also unfaithful.” And we can‘t ignore unrequited love, secret love or love that has ended. Everything is stirred up and it can drive you almost mad, as this song makes clear. After all this disappointment Amor, for whom we had so desperately yearned, is described as disgraceful. Thus love can be as cold as ice. A choral song with changing moods and tempi, with the soloists joining in strongly.

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.
