Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
A calm, relaxed Andante espressivo is the tempo here at the beginning of Act 3 of Perpetuum mobile, which is based on texts from the Codex Buranus. The first piece, “Cedit, hiems, tua duritities” (Your harshness will give way, Winter), is a metrical strophic song with one striking feature: every line throughout the Latin text rhymes on the final syllable -ies.
This movement on text no. 135 from the Codex Buranus is about the eagerly awaited arrival of the warmer season. Associated with this is the hope of a love personally bestowed on one by the God Amor. Anyone who could be thus inflamed by love would even be prepared to make a sacrifice! We’re all familiar with the words “spring fever”. Spring, that's it! The balmy air, the fresh grass, the overwhelming birdsong must have inspired a tremendous upsurge of emotion in people after a long hard winter. A perfect song for a spring program.

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.
