Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
The text “Iam dudum estivalia pertransiere tempora” (The summer season has long since passed) comes from the later-discovered supplementary part of the Codex Buranus. The codex was obviously used by those who had access to it, for occasional song entries were made until well into the fourteenth century. As a result of the continued collecting activity, the Codex Buranus grew into an impressive collection of songs and texts. More than thirty anonymous scribes – as opposed to authors – were involved in the compilation of the manuscript.
In this winter song (text from Appendix 3 in the Codex Buranus) each one of its original five rhythmic verses rhymes masterfully with one of the five vowels. The setting is conceived as a jazzy pop ballad, in combination with a background choir which sings passionately about the changing seasons just one last time before the finale.

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.
