Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
The text “Iste mundus” (text no. 24 in the Codex Buranus) articulates a lament about the falseness and transience of human society. It describes a world in a chaotic state and in intense turmoil. It is a topical commentary on the turbulent events or the general state of the world. But to what century does the text actually refer?
“The world is out of joint” is a phrase that has been quoted throughout the centuries. The phrase has been world-famous since Shakespeare’s Hamlet said, “The time is out of joint”. Once again, the astonishing timelessness of this magnificent manuscript becomes apparent. An Allegro risoluto with a groovy beat conveys this text, which repeatedly strives towards the refrain “Fugiamus” (Let us flee).

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.
