Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
A calm, flowing duet between a man and a woman. Both are experienced and know just how the world works. Serenely they sing about the state of affairs: “Diligitur, colitur, quem sors illuminatere” (he whom fate adorns with fortune is valued and revered). Love and honor? Only with money! Those who are seen to be poor are despised. An Italian proverb says, “No poor person is as poor as one who used to be rich”. A sober view of life! And a pretty cynical idea. But that's exactly what this song is about.
The hexameter from text no. 188 which is set here to music is one of the many sayings or slogans from the Codex Buranus.

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.
