Composer Peter Schindler on this separate edition from "Perpetuum mobile":
Text no. 132 in the Codex Buranus reveals that at the time when the manuscript was written, the poets and singers were describing or singing about life directly from their own closely observed lived experiences. What we read there about birdsong sounds like an anticipation of the text "Alle Vögel sind schon da" by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben. And the birds are still chirping those same tunes today. What a concert! The stork is still chattering, the nightingale is warbling as ever she did, the geese are cackling and the cicadas are chirping. Bees are buzzing, woodpeckers are pecking, and you can still hear the cuckoo’s call.
This song describes Nature’s wonderful spring music. It is a kind of live report from the Middle Ages. It will delight anyone who enjoys holding his sweetheart in his arms. There you go! A cheerful song on a sunny spring day, an atmospheric song in a medium tempo, which transports the rustling of the reeds in the balmy wind directly into the concert hall.
