The composer Peter Schindler on this single edition from "Perpetuum mobile":

The section "Carmina armatoria" (love songs) is the largest group in the Codex Buranus (texts no. 56-186) with 131 texts of varying lengths. "Incipiunt Iubili" (Here the rejoicing begins) is the heading at the front in red ink. On the verso of page 64 (turned) in the manuscript, a fantastic forest landscape in miniature supports these texts.

"Ianus annum circinat" (text no. 56 from the Codex Buranus) is the last song of "Perpetuum mobile" and begins with a spring entrance typical of the time. The Janus (Ianus) quoted here, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, is one of the oldest Roman gods. Janus orbits the year, he has the first and the last word. Once again, the miracle of love is invoked, once again the anticipation of the moment when the sun will move into the constellation of Taurus and thus herald the renewal of spring arises.

The finale is an invitation and fervent plea to chase away the sadness. The phrase "Omnia vincit Amor: et nos cedamus Amori" comes from Virgil's "Eclogues". (Love conquers all things: let us also yield to love.)

What is written in the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians? "For now faith, hope, love, these three remain; but love is the greatest of these." There is nothing more to add to this.
