Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
The “Carmina armatoria” (love songs) section is the largest group in the Codex Buranus with 131 texts of varying lengths (texts no. 56-186). “Incipiunt Iubili” (Here the rejoicing begins) is the title at the front in red ink. On the back side (verso) of page 64 in the manuscript, a miniature of a fantastic forest landscape in miniature accompanies these texts.
“Ianus annum circinat” (text no. 56 from the Codex Buranus) is the last song of Perpetuum mobile and begins with a description of the arrival of spring which is typical of the time. The Roman god of beginnings and endings, Janus (Ianus) who is quoted here, is one of the oldest Roman gods. Janus encircles the year; he has the first and the last word. Once again, the miracle of love is invoked, once again there is excited anticipation of the moment when the sun will move into the constellation of Taurus and thus herald the renewal of spring.
The finale is an invitation and a fervent plea to chase away the sadness. The phrase “Omnia vincit Amor: et nos cedamus Amori” comes from Virgil's Eclogues. (Love conquers all things: let us also yield to love).
What does the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians say? “For now faith, hope, love, these three remain; but the greatest of these is love.” There is nothing more to add.

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.
