Peter Schindler’s fulllength secular choral work Sonne, Mond und Sterne (Sun, Moon and Stars) narrates a love story based on “old” texts which are given a new interpretation through these musical settings. Some individual numbers were published in spring, and now more movements with piano accompaniment are available in print and digitally. choral work of medium difficulty will appeal to experienced Brahms Requiem singers as well as ambitious chamber or youth choirs with a gospel, pop or jazz backgroundcrossover between jazz, chanson, and chamber music Peter Schindler about "Punschlied":The song has three verses, but just the first verse is included in the cantata. In a joyfultosing, melodic style and the vibrant key of A major, we hear a text with a twinkle which pays homage to nature in the south and art in the north.“Purpur und kristallen hell” (purple and crystal clear) refers to red and white wine, whose grapes are grown in the midday sun. And thus Friedrich Schiller, who was in fact born in a winegrowing region, created a truly delightful poem from a delicious drink. Especially suitable for concert programs where the theme is “In vino veritas”!
