Talk:O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

message: Please transwiki lyrics to wikisource. --Improv 04:54, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I referred to Charles' conversion to Methodism because, though he founded the club at Oxford, he wrote the poem to commemorate the May 1738 event wherein he "experienced the witness of adoption" and joined John's evangelistic work which was already then in progress.  Of course you could argue that regardless of what Charles thought of his experience he was already in evangelistic work, having travelled with John to Georgia (despite his failures there), and so I'll agree that maybe the term "conversion" isn't quite what we're looking for.  At the same time, Charles and John had both been prior to May 1738 presently studying with Peter Bohler, and so saying one of them arrived at Methodism before the other seems to be wrong in either case.  So conceded.  And anyway Charles tends to be lost in his brother's shadow and saying he converted to his brother's faith doesn't really illuminate the truth.
Perhaps rather than conversion to Methodism, we should say instead he wrote the poem on the one year anniversary of his renewal of faith.  Based on his journal entries from that day I think that seems fair so I've made that change.
However, while Charles' day of renewal and John's Aldersgate Street incident happened about the same time (on the 23d and 24th), the two men did not sing O For 1000 Tongues at that time.  Charles did write a hymn on the day of or the day after his renewal, and did sing that hymn together with John and some others on the evening of the 24th, when John visited Charles after his Aldergate experience.  The hymn is not one I recognize as appearing in any modern hymnals and anyway the tune is lost to history, being rather made up on the spot I would suppose.  However, Charles wrote O For 1000 Tongues on May 23 of 1739, on the year anniversary of his renewal.  It was published with the recommendation that it be recited or sung on the anniversary of one's conversion.  I have deleted the Aldersgate reference and added this bit of info, although more work probably remains to be done. Thehappysmith 05:03, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Indigenous music of Australia

message: The lead explains: "Music has formed an integral part of the social, cultural and ceremonial observances of these peoples, down through the millennia of their individual and collective histories to the present day, and has existed for 40,000 years." This is referenced by four books, however it's not clear which one references which information. Can we make this clearer? After all no other society has succeeded in developing a 40,000 year tradition. It's highly unlikely to be true, and even if it were true, it would be very difficult to document archaeologically. So let have some more information, can we? --Kleinzach 10:38, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I saw an Indian percussion ensemble playing recently and the group was led by someone playing the ghatam.

message: I have removed this paragraph:
Music is modal, with its meqam (or mode in Arabic music) is called Kurd and is known throughout the Middle East. Other common meqams used in Kurdish music are Deştî - which is of Kurdish origin - Beyat, Beyatî Huseynî (Muheyir), Hicaz and Saba. The meqam Nahawand or Nihavent used in Arabic and Turkish music also has a Kurdish name.
It is not correct musicology. Kurdish people have to be objective here and not just try and write an article that seems to emphasise nationlist tendencies. Please see sources  for correct information on Ottoman classical music
I didn't know a theory could be a proof or a source...

Talk:Pygmy music

message: Sources are not updated and these music websites don't have adequate information on Pygmy music. They have little to no context or historical background on this type of music which is vital to understanding how this interesting type of music came about. The "World Music Central" citation is virtually useless and unrelated to the topic at hand. The topic of "Liquinid"i can not be found in the sources that were cited. There is only one subtitle that is adequate and has an abundance of information and only one citation that is partially useful and applicable to the topic. In conclusion, this article is vague and needs further context, information and better sources. Information that touched more on the singers of this genre of music would be useful and would significantly improve the quality of this article. ValerieGudino (talk) 22:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

message: If someone wants to pursue deleting this, I've two reasons to want such a proposal to undergo discussion.

This suggests there is more to this topic than has thus far been said in the English article; and that, in turn, seems to me to suggest enough doubt to justify not deleting without discussion.
* Lesser reason:  Quite simply, I find this topic interesting.  That's obviously not a reason not to delete, but frankly I do consider it a valid reason not to want it deleted without discussion.

message: I'm glad this article didn't get deleted. It had been on my to-do list of articles to work on, though not a high priority.
German Wikipedia has pretty decent and well-sourced article on the topic that could be used as basis for improving the English Wikipedia article. The French and Spanish Wikipedia articles aren't bad either, though they lack citations. If I do this myself, my approach would be to translate the French Wikipedia article, check it against the article on German Wikipedia, add sources, and then work from there.
Floréal Martorell also has an article on the history of Esperanto music, "Esperanto-muzik-kulturo. Ĉu mito aŭ realo?". I wish I could find better documentation on the early history of musical culture in the Esperanto community, but this should help some. 
Most of the articles the Esperanto music article links to were speedily deleted on 3 Feb 2012 citing  CSD A7 or  A9 "no indication of importance", a few were deleted later. Most of these could be restored the same way, by working from better articles on other Wikipedias.

Talk:Music of Israel

message: The music of Israel is a combination of Jewish and non-Jewish music traditions that have come together over the course of a century to create a distinctive musical culture. For almost 150 years, musicians have sought original stylistic elements that would define the emerging national spirit.[1] In addition to creating an Israeli style and sound, Israel's musicians have made significant contributions to classical, jazz, pop rock and other international music genres. Since the 1970s, there has been a flowering of musical diversity, with Israeli rock, folk and jazz musicians creating and performing extensively, both locally and abroad. Many of the world's top classical musicians are Israelis or Israeli expatriates. The works of Israeli classical composers have been performed by leading orchestras worldwide.
Music in Israel is an integral part of national identity. Beginning in the days of the pioneers, Hebrew songs and public singalongs (Shira beTsibur) were encouraged and supported by the establishment. "Public singalongs were a common pastime [of the early settlers], and were for them a force in defining their identity", wrote Nathan Shahar.[2] This view of music as nation-building continues to this day. "We are in the midst of creating a culture", wrote Nahum Heyman, one of Israel's leading music composers and music historians.[3] Jewish immigrants from Europe, Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere brought with them their musical traditions, melding and molding them into a new Israeli sound 2001:4454:390:E400:9D5F:5B8B:5F33:8C6D (talk) 23:36, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Music of Kyrgyzstan

message: Hi fellow Wikipedians!
As a long time fan of Kyrgyz Music, I want to mention that this article is in need of improvement.
Unfortunately I am not qualified to do so as I do not know the correct terminology.
This article give the impression that you have to forms of Music in Kyrgyzstan: Folk and a K-pop/pop combo.
While K-Pop, Pop, and Rap certainly are present, there are a lot of artists who create music that doesn't fit the classification.
To give some examples. 
On the one end there is spiced up folk music. 
Excellent examples include Mirbek Atabekov's "Bul Düynö" (Мирбек Атабеков- Бул Дүйнө) Ilyaz Andash and Nazel's "Beles" (Ильяз Андаш Назэл Белес) and Ayar Akylbekov's "Toolor".
However while borrowing from pop in some aspects they are basically folk music.
Of course you also have several in the Estrada genre such as Gulnur Satylganova.
Then you have the Music of Bek Borbiev (Бек Борбиев), which utilizes the accordion. The particular sound (often using the harmonic minor scale) is certainly not the same as pop or k-pop. The closest term I can find that I think would fit is "retro" as it seems to have emerged within the soviet union. There are a lot of singer's with a similar sound.
Then you have the Toi music which Wikipedia has a stub article on. It often incorporates elements of traditional Arab and Turkish music. 
I am not sure if these are technically Toi or not, but Nurmat Sadirov's Kyrgyz Kyzdary is an excellent example. The music of Nurkyz Kojonova also utilizes this.
Of course most of these singers are unique and defy genre categorization, or sing in multiple genres. Examples of well known singers (based in part on MuzKg youtube channel, but also based on news media coverage and other factors) include Ayperi Kubyk Kyzy, Ilyaz Andash, , Anjelika Kairatovna, Nurmat Sadyrov, and Sultan Sadiraylev.
Unfortunately the research on it is very sparse, so I do not have reliable secondary sources.
Also, I am not sure what some of these genre's are called.
