Talk:Gerald Finzi

message: Under "1933-1939: Musical development", the article says that Finzi settled with his wife in Aldbourne, Berkshire, but I can't find an Aldbourne in Berkshire. My road atlas and Multimap only list an Aldbourne in Wiltshire (a little over 20 miles from Ashmansworth). Did the county boundary change in 1972 (see Local Government Act 1972) "move" Aldbourne to Wiltshire or is there some other problem?

The details are in my review on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 17:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: COI declaration

message: After pointing out he was born in London, of parents of Jewish background, it was stated that he 'nevertheless' became a very "English" composer of his generation. He was English; being Jewish doesn't change this, and it was insensitive to imply this. If he were Christian, would one have said 'nevertheless'? Note that, on the other hand, the 'despite' which follows, in "[d]espite being an agnostic, he wrote some inspired and imposing Christian choral music," is reasonable since he was an agnostic (not to mention of Jewish background). Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanamizu (talk • contribs) 07:37, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: * Comment: Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity. Wrong. It is both. To emphasise this point, even the lede at Jews describes them as "an ethnoreligious group"--a distinct and discrete ethnic group. While it's borderline controversial because of the overtones of historical racism and alientation, an example is that of European jews...they never were accepted as a homogenous component of any ethnic group associated with a nation-state--there was always a separateness, a division based on ethnic lines. For example: German Jews and Germans are not the same ethnicity just because they share a common language and location, in fact they are two vastly different cultures--one of the requirements for being different ethnically. By comparison, a Somali-American who came as a refugee in the 1990s to Maine in the US (essentially still "Somali" in culture) is not considered "as American" as a WASPy Boston Brahmin descended from the Mayflower passengers. --ColonelHenry (talk) 15:44, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
