Commissioned for the International Choral Festival 'Europa cantat', this little cheerful madrigal was written in 2006 by the composer Enjott Schneider (*1950) from Munich. The Latin text ('Trinklied' from 'Carmina Burana') and the piece's easy singability should ensure its wide circulation. Suited as an encore piece or for cheerful programmes. Feasible for amateur and youth choirs as well.
