	Today is Bach's birthday, DYK? I love his music, and one piece particularly, ]. It mentions joy (''Freude'', remember ]?) in the first sentence, which is repeated at the very end, so joy gets the last word, in a motet possibly intended for a funeral. For me, it became a song of singing in defiance (you know, this wonderful line "... rage, world, ... I stand here and sing ..."). I sang it first when my grandfather was buried. I ] here when I felt treated unfairly. (I could have left Misplaced Pages, but stubbornly stayed.) I sing it now to myself when all singing together was stopped.

Not only was it not welcome, - it was seen as an action on battleground, and I was formally sentenced for that by our highest "court". This year's birthday gift for Bach is hopefully less controversial: expand the motet article. Please, all: write content instead of argueing, united in respect.

	::::Sure, {{u\|Gerda Arendt}}, dark does not need to be about the sky, you might like to see ]. English is rich in words for colours, but I think the thing here is that dark cannot mean black, perhaps because it starts from the sky, which is never black.

I think darkest is the best you will get, it seems to mean lighter than black but only just. ] (]) 02:12, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

We move from 2024 to 2025, with new calendar pictures and new music. The topic of Bach's chorale cantatas will keep me busy until 25 March, and then I want to focus on performances more generally, in history and in my experience. You can follow my daily stories, {{User Gerda Arendt/Top}}, often with an image and something to listen to: let's stay inspired and connected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

#call for collaboration points at issues where I need help, such as reviews. Ongoing efforts regard locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2024 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.

2025 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2025 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... will come here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.

My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three or more boxes, often one for people remembered and others for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8

The article Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 and Talk:Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Aza24 -- Aza24 (talk) 00:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Aza24, thank you for the thorough review. I understand that in order to make Bach's chorale cantatas a good topic, this cantata - as part of it - has to be a good article, and I am willing to put work into it to make it so. However, right now I'm working simultaneously on several others with the same goal, and they require less work. I see me getting to serious changes for BWV 8 after the others, which will be in February. (The only one written later, BWV 1, is already a FA.) I'll make small changes now, perhaps today, but will then have to ask if the nom should remain open for longer or be closed and started over when I'm ready. Y'all: any help with this one and the others - making changes or reviewing - is welcome, see above, #calling for collaboration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:William Owen (composer)

Gerda, I was asked to help on this because it failed draft review. I added a few sources, but thought maybe you would like to take this on as it is about a hymn composer. Best.4meter4 (talk) 03:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC

I am interested, and thank you for thinking of me, but I have a few things I want to handle first, - just look above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, still working on the last cantata for 2024, - will probably come over tomorrow with a photo or more tomorrow, to continue sharing. You can probably guess that the new calendar pics will be at User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2025--Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
