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.

Eduard Mörike
| 1804-1875Eduard Mörike was a German poet and writer of the Schwäbische Dichterschule. He studied theology at Tübingen Abbey and then worked as a vicar and parish administrator in various parishes. In 1834, Mörike was appointed pastor of Cleversulzbach until he took early retirement in 1843. From then on, he devoted his time entirely to his literary work and also began teaching literature at the Katharinenstift in Stuttgart in 1851. He lived and worked in Stuttgart until his death in 1875.
Eduard Mörike is considered one of the most important poets between Romanticism and Realism. His best-known works include the novel Maler Nolten, the novella Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag and numerous poems, including the popular Er ist's. His lyrical works deal with personal experiences and observations of nature, but his subjects also include mythological and religious motifs. His texts are characterized by a deep emotionality and musical quality, which has led to many musical settings of Mörike's poems. Josef G. Rheinberger, Robert Schumann, Max Bruch, Max Reger, Hugo Wolf, Peter Schindler and many others have used Mörike's texts for their compositions. Personal details
Reviews
... Schindler erweist sich als erfahrener und mit allen stilistischen Wassern gewaschener Arrangeur, der vor allem im Pop- und Jazzbereich zu Hause ist und sich darauf versteht, leichte, aber nicht seichte Musik zu schreiben, die gut klingt und Laune macht. Das ist hier bestens gelungen.
Guido Krawinkel, Chorzeit, 11/2020
