Talk:Heinrich XXIV, Count Reuss of Ebersdorf

message: Most of the Roman numerals used on this page seem erroneous; they are certainly out of probable sequence. 
Heinrich XXIV (24th) ... was the eldest son of the thirteen children of Count Heinrich XXIX (29th) ...
Heinrich XXIV ... had seven children:
   1. Heinrich XLVI (46th) ...
   4. Heinrich LI (51st) ...
   6. Heinrich LIII (53rd)
I am at an utter loss as to what the right numbers actually are, but it seems clear to me that this cannot be correct. 
Also, please note that in English one "marries" or "is married to"; one does not "marry with," and that in written English dates are not preceded with "the," even though in spoken English one does refer to "the 13th of August" or whatever.

text: I've seen varying days, months and occasionally years for Jamie.  Even on varying media outlets.  At the time of Jamie's EastEnders character Jay being stabbed in January 2008, one newspaper reported the actor as being 13, another one reported him as being 14.  Whats On TV has the birth year down as 1994.  Piecing together various fragments of details from all over the Internet, I would be inclined to believe that the June 23rd date sounds "about" right but unfortunately I can't verify it to beyond reasonable doubt. NKTP (talk) 21:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

text: As stated by the BBC as per the "sacking" of the baby who played Oscar Branning back in September 2008, none of the child actors on this show are joined to the show in the same way as an adult actor would be.  Child actors are licensed to perform by a local authority and then free to sign up to an agency or performing school.  Jamie's handled by Sylvia Young's school in London, therefore any contract would be between EastEnders and Sylvia Young, not between EastEnders and Jamie.  An option would be available I would have thought for each party to end the agreement that obliges Sylvia Young to provide Jamie and obliges Jamie to act professionally for EastEnders as per the needs of the production.  To answer the question in a nutshell - there is no contract and providing appropriate notice has been given on either side, Jamie could leave the show tomorrow.

When played on a real violoncello piccolo, whether on the arm or cello-style, with the right strings, the part is relatively easy, as every baroque cellist will testify, and actually in a rather low range.

message: Our article on the Feast of John the Baptist doesn't mention circumcision, which is eight days after birth (for Jesus: 1 January, the eighth day after 25 December). In the context of this cantata, it seems not relevant, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:34, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The gospel of the day does, see Benedictus (Song of Zechariah), which is the second part of the Gospel reading. The passage in the cantata article compares Gospel reading text with Luther's chorale text. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:50, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

text: The end of that paragraph used to read, until a few days ago "The song and thus the text focus on Luther's teaching on baptism, derived from biblical accounts. It is not related to the prescribed gospel about the birth of the baptist." (referenced to "Dürr") Personally, I think "not about the Gospel" somewhat of a redundant addition. In Lutheranism, Luther's hymn is associated with the feast of the Baptist. It doesn't refer to the "preaching in the desert" (first reading), nor to either part of the Gospel reading. It refers to what John the Baptist is best known for (practicing baptism). It would be better to clarify that link than expounding on the links that aren't there. (there's no direct link between the "preaching in the desert" and the birth or circumcision of John the Baptist either, but that's not mentioned). The theme that brings it all together is of course John the Baptist himself, who was born and circumcised according to the Gospel reading, who "preached in the desert", and baptised Christ. --Francis Schonken (talk) 11:05, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Hello Gerda, here are a few thoughts on the lead.
: Thank you and I'll reply as if in the FAC. 
*1)	I would invert the second and third paragraphs. In the first, you talk about Bach, in the second Birkmann and the lyrics, in the third, you’re back to Bach and the music. Also, if you put the first and third in succession, you’ll notice that you talk about the bass voice in both. This seems repetitive. 
*: No, the first para - as usual in FAs - is a summary of it all, and Bach comes first, as the reason to know this piece. When the article was written, we didn't even know the name of the librettist. --GA 
*::I'm not following here. My point is that you have paragrah 1=Bach, paragraph 2=Birkman, paragraph 3=Bach again. Wouldn't it make more sense to have Bach, Bach, Birkmann, rather than Bach, Birkmann, Bach?
*::: You don't follow that what you name first para is not in chronology but a summary for the very hasty reader who will not get to the second para. It's sort of standard for Bach cantatas, FA (compare BWV 1) or not, and was there before we even had an infobox. Basics first, - I see that in many FAs, - look at Messiah today, a 2012 creation. It doesn't begin with Jennens, or the Bible, although every word in it is from the Bible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, BWV 51

message: sorry for my poor english.
"There has been some speculation as to the identity of the singer for whom Bach wrote the cantata and for exactly what purpose it was written; women did not sing in church in Bach's day, yet the part is considered too complicated for most boy sopranos to capably handle."
It is extremly difficoult to sing it for boys at the age of 13, 14, but oldest boys can do it. Problem is in puberty and loosing soprano posibilites.
Boys at the time of Bach could sing for longer time with unchanged voices as puberty is faster now. There was much more boys at the age 15, 16 who could sing still soprano as todays Clint van Der Linde or Alois M. So it can be a solution of this problem...

Talk:Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen, BWV 11

message: Peter Wollny claims that the Ascension Oratorio was first performed not in 1735, but in 1737 or 1738.
The main idea is that one of the copyists of the original part scores, Anonymous Vj, has been identified as Johann Wilhelm Machts, based on his handwriting.
Bach Jahrbuch 2016, pp. 83-91. (translated from German):
"However, the identification of Anonymous Vj now calls Dürr's dating of BWV 11 into question, because Machts only moved into the alumnat of the Thomasschule just two weeks after the Ascension Day in 1735, and even if he had arrived in Leipzig a few weeks earlier, it can hardly be assumed that that an eleven-year-old newcomer was immediately called upon to do copy work."
[...]
"...the identification of the Anonymous Vj plays a key role. In view of Johann Wilhelm Machts's biographical data, we can assume with great certainty that the continuo part by his hand - and thus probably the entire set of parts - was not made for a performance on May 19, 1735. The beginning of his activity as a copyist can hardly be put before 1737 or even 1738. Since Bach's own notation underwent significant changes from about 1739, which are not yet manifest in D-B Mus.ms. Bach P 44, Faszikel 5 (autograph score) and in the autograph parts PL-Kj Mus.ms. Bach St 356, a later date of composition can also be ruled out with high probability. Of the two possible dates for the completion and first performance of the Ascension Oratorio - 1737 and 1738 - I would prefer the later option; this would also result in a meaningful reference to the renewed performance of the Easter Oratorio in the same year, which was backed up by strong arguments."
