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.

Schindler: Kinderhits mit Witz
Gerade weil Schindler auf jeden Text zugeschneiderte, dennoch einfache wie eingängige Melodien erfand, eignen sich diese Lieder ideal für Kinder und Jugendliche in 1-2-stimmiger Besetzung. Derzeit liegen 6 Sammlungen mit je 5-7 Liedern vor. Wer auswählen will, hat die Qual. Tatsächlich bieten sich alle Lieder immer dann an, wenn Spaß im Chor angesagt ist, eben jener Moment, in dem es gilt, Kinder lustvoll zum Singen zu verführen.
