Never before has the well-known children's song Es klappert die Mühle from the 19th century, based on a text by Ernst Anschütz (1824), been heard as lively and groovy as here. Alwin Michael Schronen, winner of several composition awards, manages in his four-part setting for mixed choir and belly drum ad libitum to turn this simple three-verse folk tune in an entertaining and rhythmically infectious choral composition. Due to the varied onomatopoeic imitation of 'klipp-klapp' by using belly drum, the clapping of hands, 'dabada' and 'klippi-klippi-klapp' interjections of the choir, as well as the stage direction of walking on tiptoe aimed at both performers and listeners, this piece really has the potential of joining in and tapping along.
