Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
Here we are, right in the midst of a boisterous party. The innkeeper can scarcely pour as fast as the people are drinking. You can hear and see humorous conversations, laughter, mockery and pub singing. The high spirits described in text no. 205 in the Codex Buranus show the flip side of a world that is fixed by rules. There is unrestrained gambling and equally unrestrained drinking, and no-one is worried about breaking any laws. Even though the assembled company ought to know that Decius, the god of dice, is a completely unsafe contemporary, it just doesn't matter! The gathering won’t let that spoil the fun for everyone. They act as if there is no tomorrow.
A cheerful, choral drinking song, ideally suited for inclusion on the program of appropriate concerts.

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.
