Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
Summer follows spring as the seasons change. The fiery god of love approaches inexorably, as in this song, which describes the sensations and effects of soothing warmth. The long-awaited summer is now here. “Summertime and the living is easy.” Although that line is from a later time, it describes the same attitude to life. The trees are lush green and the earth is resplendent. Birdsong and the balmy breeze, melodiousness and festive song are everywhere, and everyone who is loved is blessed.
This pattern of expression recurs endlessly in both vernacular and Latin poetry of the Middle Ages. The combination of texts nos. 74, 152 and 141 from the Codex Buranus thus becomes a smooth summer hymn with a jazzy flow. If you’re looking for a summer song, here it is.

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.
