Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
“O golden Venus! You are a cruel goddess; your torch burns me up. Why do you rage like this and hurt me?” We don't know exactly what has happened to this woman, but she is in agony. This love lament is a harrowing song of pain. She sings of being rejected, she feels close to death. She would rather die than endure such a life any longer.
Unrequited love! An eternal literary theme. You can't love without exposing yourself to the risk of being hurt. Perhaps that was the case with this woman. Whatever happened, the lento to text 103 in the Codex Buranus can be acted out dramatically, operatically. The audience should have compassion for the abandoned woman.

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.
