Would be done pretty soon. Thanks, Yash! 04:06, 27 December 2015 (UTC)


### Lead
A link for "soloists" perhaps?
Don't have one in any Bach cantata, not even FAs. --GA
why "probably"? A hatnote explaining why would be good. Any explanation would be better.
In the first (standard) paragraph, we don't explain. Later we do, saying that it was published in 1728 with the wish to have it composed by Bach, which means it wasn't composed by Bach THEN. So 1729 or later,- we don't know. --GA
Better to avoid vague terms such as "years after". A simple "after" or a precise number would be preferred. Or mention the year in which he started his term. Or anything else that you'd prefer.
? We just said we don't know, therefore can't know the precise difference to 1723, which is mentioned now. Sources disagree about when the third cycle ended, for which he took more than one year. --GA
"Years after", "after a while", "some time before" etc., - I have always seen the reviewers oppose to usage of those terms. However, it is OK in this case and mentioning the year he joined in would at least give some little less vague idea about the time. Little less vague > vague. Yash! 03:18, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
The year is mentioned now, and the whole sequence of three cycles (2 precise, 1 vague) explained. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Can we mention violins and viola?
Nikkimaria doesn't like that, compare ;) - Dürr (the most prominant source) also says strings. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)


### History and words
Again, an explanation for the "probably" would help.
tried to explain the cycles (but it is in Bach cantata) --GA
A link for Leipzig?
yes --GA
A link for "King James"? When I hear the term "King James", this guy pops in my head.
OK, but I never saw one so far. --GA
A link for "Christmas Oratorio"?
Its in Part IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:39, 27 December 2015 (UTC)


### Structure and scoring
All good here!


### Music
"The first movement, "Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm bis an der Welt Ende." (God..." - is the period at the end of "Ende." intended?
Yes, because that one is a full sentence, --GA
Unlink "fugue" since it has already been linked twice.
It was linked once in the lead, no? --GA
I don't remember why I suggested it! Perhaps a little misunderstanding while using Ctrl+F. Yash! 03:18, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
"While the trumpets are independent, the strings and oboes mostly double the voices in the style of Bach's motets. trumpets, the first trumpet also playing the fugue theme." - "Bach's motets. trumpets, the first" - I would have fixed it but it is a little confusing to me that what's wrong.
Sorry, a sentence rearranged but not completely. I tried. --GA
I am a bit confused as to what "according to range" means.
The source mentions precisely the high range between lowest note and highest note, which would be difficult to play on instruments other than violins. I think to repeat the exact range would be too much detail. --GA
Fair enough. Yash! 03:18, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
On a side note, shouldn't we have an article about Julian Mincham?
Give me sources for a bio, and I'll write it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
"tri-partite" -> "tripartite" - also a link perhaps?
word done, - I could only link to a disamb page, --GA
Unlink "recitative"
done --GA
"their own interludes" -> "their interludes"
I tried to add, because they make the difference to the normal straightforward 4-part chorale. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Not a requirement for GA but more information (if it's out there) would be nice. However, it's good enough to pass as it is. Great work Gerda! Yash! 09:42, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't see any problems in passing this. Keep up the good work! Yash! 03:18, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I don't think the Gonnenwein 1961 recording is on period instruments.   As far as I can recall, the LP notes make no mention of thisDelahays (talk) 23:58, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! You can make the change yourself next time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:32, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
