Talk:Monody

message: The term itself is a recent invention of scholars: no composer of the 17th century ever called a piece a monody. Yet  the article Emilio de' Cavalieri states: Cavalieri claimed to be the inventor of monody, often with considerable irritation: "everyone knows I am the inventor of monody," he said in a letter of 1600, "and I said so myself in print." 
Contradiction?! China Crisis 08:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a very good question, and I'm looking in to it (and I probably should since I wrote both of those passages).  According to the New Grove article on Monody, "...the word was certainly never used by the composers themselves."  ("Monody" article, 1980 Grove, vol 12, p. 497).  I have to find the original Italian of the Cavalieri letter to see what he actually called it, and insert a clarification.  Thanks for pointing this out! Antandrus  (talk) 15:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

text: OK... fixed.  Cavalieri called it the stile rappresentativo, but in his letter he just called it "this style" or equivalent.  The term "monody" was a somewhat later invention.  I tried to clarify it in Cavalieri's article.  Thanks, Antandrus  (talk) 16:04, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, it's clear now. China Crisis 10:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modern term? 

message: While it is true that the stile rappresentativo linked with the early opera has sometimes been called "(accompanied) monody", this is not monody strictly speaking, since it is accompanied. And it is strange that an article entitled "Monody" says nothing of unaccompanied song, as in many non European cultures, or of compositions for solo melodic instrument (such as Bach's sonatas or suites for solo violin or solo cello) that are more truly monophonic. — Hucbald.SaintAmand (talk) 16:34, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:NCAA basketball tournament Most Outstanding Player

message: This page serves mainly as just a list.  It would probably be better served merging the individual lists in with each of the different tournaments' main pages.  fuzzy510 09:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I've wondered that myself, but for some reason the NCAA wants to be weird and call it an "MOP" (how nice, name the guy who is fulfilling many a dream of young b-ball players everywhere after janitorial equipment :P).

Talk:Vṛddhi

message: "Cognates are words that have a common origin" - Wikipedia. I do not see how Vrddhi, Weird and Werden can have a common origin simply because they do not mean the same. I can see commonality in words like Father, Vater, Petr, and Petar; also daughter and duhitr (duhitri); Mother and Maatri (Matar); Sound and Savda; Hand and Hasta ; just to name a few.

These correspondences in Germanic are probably not true. The given Germanic words are assumed to come from another IE root: *wert-, -d- `to turn'. And in fact, the correspondence IE *dh: Germanic/Old English ð (weorðan) would not be ok.--Imz 00:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Sag A* alone is 4.3 million solar masses. So how can Sag A be only 3.8 million solar masses.
I also support that statement, the mass of Sag A* is estimated to be between 4 and 4.7 solar masses so the source of radio emissions must be higher. Smulumudi (talk) 00:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The NuSTAR section requires a rewrite: it's unclear to me what the actual findings were (in layman's terms), what the role of NuSTAR war (the paragraph talks about observations made by Chandra, not NuSTAR).

Talk:Anglican church music

message: I've added to "service settings" that the oridnary of the Eucharist is also set to music, and linked this to Mass (music).  Thinking about it some more, this isn't entirely true, as it is extremely rare for the Creed to be set in a compostion specifically for Anglican use, the Creed being almost always said by all, or maybe sung to the Merbecke chant-style setting.  Not to sure hwo to word this in the article without getting way too detailed for this page, would possibly be better to add something to the Mass (music) page instead, but I'm not entirely sure about that either. David Underdown 09:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Traditionally the Creed was set, and in fact was one of the few portions of the Communion service set by pre-Victorian composers. Very few choirs now perform the Creed chorally, however.Wilus 10:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Now you mention, I suppose the Reformation composers do actually include it and it is really the Victorian and later ones I was thinking.  Durham are the only ones I know of that do it, and I think that's only once a month. David Underdown 12:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It varies, and it is silly to generalise. A lot of cathedrals, for example, may normally do Merbecke, but perform a full Mass including Credo at special occasions. Some collegiate choirs also perform one of the Gregorian settings. --Stefan 14:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Added

message: I've tidied up a few bits and pieces, mostly by disamiguating links.  I've also restored the distinction that the music is written for performance in an Anglican context, rather than just being any music that is performed in that context, the last para refers to the use of music from other traditions, and you could harldy claim that Mozart is a composer of Anglican church music just becuase one of his mass settings might from time to time be used.

replies: text: This whole articles is innacurately based on al-Hakem and the other early Arabic works, which are not accurate for the conquest of Iberia.

Talk:Parliament House, Adelaide

message: I was going through and adding some more detailed info to the article but stumbled across something that dosent make sence to me, in the article it says that construction started in 1874, however my understanding is that construction did not start until 1881-1882, in 1881 a joint parliamentary commitee was appointed building committee which called for tenders and subsequently awards the construction tender for the west wing to the Kapunda Mining and Building Company, my source on this is predominately a book called "Completion of Parliament House" written to commemorate the centenary...
