Peter Schindler Perpetuum mobile

Songs from the Codex Buranus

Read and write feedback

The Codex Buranus, that celebrated collection of medieval poems and dramatic texts from the Benediktbeuern monastery, still holds many exciting secrets: Who was the author? Why, and above all, for whom were they written? In his work Perpetuum mobile, composer Peter Schindler has taken 44 texts from the Codex to create a 90-minute song cycle. The sheer length of the Latin texts can prove a real challenge. And so, in order to focus on the music-making during rehearsals, it’s important to practice the Latin beforehand.

The recording used is a live recording of the world premiere on 14 November 2021 in the Mozartsaal of Stuttgart’s Liederhalle. For legal reasons, the solo parts (No. 3, 4, 15 and 31) are not included and the coach cannot be switched off.

    1. Als die Götter
    aus der Urmasse

    und die Natur die Ordnung
    der Welt entwickelte und webte,
    hatte sie bereits zuvor geplant,

    1. When the gods derived
    the nature of things from the ancient mass
    and Nature cleverly developed
    and weaved the order of the world,
    she had already planned in advance
    what she would do.

    Man who lives miserably
    in the house of this world,
    you should remember that you are ashes:
    You will vanish in an instant.

  • Composer, 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.
