Talk:Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1

message: I have gone through the twenty-some pages currently existing on Wiki for the Church cantatas, after editing a Bach Cantata Pilgrimage section, and thought I'd make an effort to standardize their presentation inasmuch as possible. 
:Consequently, I've created a few sections: a general intro that contains the German title, alongside a literal translation to English, BWV number, and type of cantata (sacred vs. secular).
:This section also contains the prescribed readings and the authorship of the texts, when known, as well as the authorship of the chorale theme.
:The articles are completed with a scoring and structure section, followed by the complete German text, in three columns, a list of complete recordings (as I can find online, obviously. I'm sure there are many more recordings).
I plan on applying this template to all articles (existing or to be created) on the cantatas. Any advice/recommendation would be greatly appreciated and surely taken into account.  Campelli (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Application of a uniform template for Bach's Cantatas 

message: I removed the sentence "The vocal parts are embedded in the independent concerto of the orchestra." from the Music section as being essentially meaningless -- "concerto" is misused and the sense of "embedded in" is unclear. What could be said, if a source supports it, is that there's an obbligato part. --Stfg (talk) 20:29, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

message: I think it would be best to re-integrate the discography list (recently split to Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1 discography, where it has been cleaned up in the mean while). My rationale: the GA version of this article had a discography section with a list, the short paragraph that remains of the section now leads to an unbalance, bad enough to damage its chances for a FA. --Francis Schonken (talk) 12:24, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Kindly wait. My model is BWV 4. Yes, it had a discography as GA, but not FA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   The discussion already happened with you, me and then Graham87 on User talk:Gerda Arendt. Historically, there was no idea of merging Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4 and Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4 discography. So why here? Indeed there does seem to be a WP:consensus for a separate discography (you, me, Nikkimaria, Graham87, ...). But Gerda, you can always the FA reviewers for their opinion, in case of doubt. Doesn't BWV 4 set a precedent? Mathsci (talk) 14:07, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

text:  No, when BWV 4 was promoted to FA it had a recordings list. The extraction of the recordings list was done later. Anyhow, what remains there in the main article is a three-paragraph summary, quite different from the single paragraph section we have now in BWV 1. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:30, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Quite generally, the details of a recordings list are hardly relevant for the understanding of a piece of music. Neither is this article "finished", nor its summary in the cantata article which will be longer than today. Please wait. When I said "I want to focus" I meant I don't even have time to look here, in memory of Wilhelm Knabe. Other FAs of music without recordings: Falstaff (opera) and other operas, Piano Concerto No. 24 (Mozart). Different subject: Morihei Ueshiba, which had a list of students which  during FAC. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:43, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem, go ahead, time enough, any workable approach may lead to an acceptable solution. In the mean while tags indicate where the work is to be done. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:05, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

text: & still a question: you write "... details of a recordings list are hardly relevant for ..." – can you describe, in your opinion, what a detailed recordings list of the BWV 1 cantata is relevant for? Tx. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:13, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  (ec) No. What I know is that these lists have been done (operas, oratorios, students, Busoni repertoire), and I like to preserve the work of editors who created something before me. They seem to find a few readers every day, so why not? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

text: (ec) Well, firstly I said more than once that there's no rush for anything about this nomination. The earliest day it could appear is in 2022 (while articles such as Arik Brauer and Wilhelm Knabe need immediate, focused, uninterrupted attention, or the hard rules of WP:ITN about newness give them no chance for exposure]). I am determined to assume good faith, wanting to ensure article integrity. I hate tags in Main space, especially if massive and distracting, but styles are different. It's not without irony that I removed the tags from the discography article, and you reintroduced them ;) - They bother me less in that article than in one with a GA sign, and I am sure that we'll find a solution, however slowly. We know where the work is expected to be done without demonstrating it towards our readers. I'll return to this later today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

message: In this edit, a script removed the external link in a postscript cite param. This change had already been reverted by an editor. Looking at the original, I see it is a commercial link to a seller of the boxed set. I question whether we should be providing this information at all, since a Google search provides other commercial sources, including Presto Music at about half the price. Why should we advertise one supplier? Pings for , . --Mirokado (talk) 10:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
