Peter Schindler about Der Augenblick ist mein! :
"A spirited D major in a Baroque dotted rhythm, a surprising leap into B flat major and back to D major, and a middle section in a medieval style links the two texts. A clear conclusion is drawn here: serious thoughts about eternity are futile, the lack of self-determination in everyday life must be overcome.
A bacchanalian piece which invites us to experience the moment in its uniqueness. Only the sacred present applies now! The Baroque poets Andreas Gryphius and Simon Dach take this motif of ‘carpe diem’ as their theme. The four-part choral writing expresses this exuberant invitation to the zest in life in pulsating rhythms and full harmonic sounds."
Peter Schindler’s full-length secular choral work Sonne, Mond und Sterne (Sun, Moon and Stars) narrates a love story based on 'old' texts which are given a new interpretation through these musical settings. Some individual numbers were published in spring, and now more movements with piano accompaniment are available in print and digitally.
- Choral work of medium difficulty
- Will appeal to experienced 'Brahms Requiem singers' as well as ambitious chamber or youth choirs with a gospel, pop or jazz background
- Cross-over between jazz, chanson, and chamber music

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.
