Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from Perpetuum mobile:
All is lost. Everything’s dark. No hope anywhere, only humiliation, tears and grief.
Text no. 16 in the Codex Buranus is the poignant solo of a woman who has been deeply wounded. Either she has been robbed of all her possessions, or her misfortune is linked to a lost love. Who knows?
This woman was right at the top, up on high, then she fell. Now she complains to Fortuna about the wounds (Vulnera) inflicted on her. The lament is represented by a free melisma, the choir has a short interlude. It too angrily accuses Fortune.

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.
