Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
Look, spring is here. Fling wide the doors, open the windows. The sun is inviting us to blow away the gloom. The warmth is returning to our bones.
The text of no. 143 from the Codex Buranus is self-explanatory, a cheerful, entirely moral painting of spring spreads out before us. The spring season and the joys that accompany it are described lovingly and colorfully. The music supports the descriptions. A soft 6/8 time signature invites us to sway in the balmy breeze.
The middle section with the text of no. 144 is more energetic. Towards the end, the rocking, cradle rhythm is taken up again, whereby the last bars are a composed jubilation of hope, expressing the wish that love should now take over and rule. A sympathetic audience will agree without hesitation.

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.
