GAN: Whitburn
For some reason (perhaps I have inadvertently omitted to do something techie) the usual congrats message has not appeared here. Well, it has now. The article is safely added to the GA list and marked GA on its page and the associated talk page. Bravo/brava! (delete as applicable). Tim riley talk 21:15, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Tim riley Thank you for your review and for your message! Perhaps another technical thing - I can’t see the GA icon on the article. Is that something that should be added manually as well? Unexpectedlydian (talk) 22:14, 26 March 2022 (UTC)@Tim riley
- Oh, Lord! Let's wait 24 hours and see what happens. I really don't think I've omitted anything I ought to have done, and I vaguely recall something like this before with one or two of my GAN reviews, never really explained. Let's see. Meanwhile, my personal congratulations. Tim riley talk 22:19, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Bluey!
Thank you for your kind thankyou and I am glad I have not caused (too much) annoyance. Ermmmm … I'd better go and listen to it now, yesno? Cheers DBaK (talk) 14:36, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- No annoyance at all! Definitely have a listen, it's a wonderful little piece. The track in Silence & Music (2017) is a personal favourite. Although, it doesn't feature the soprano solo, but a full ensemble (see conversation with @DavidBrooks above!). Unexpectedlydian (talk) 14:42, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oh thanks so much – I love to have a recommendation! I have rushed off to get it, and a score. How lovely. I adore it when stuff like this happens here … my own musicianship (such as it is) can tend towards a certain narrowness, so something as gorgeous as this, to make me think, is very welcome. I also for historical reasons have a serious bit of a soft spot for Mr McC so this is grand. Cheers DBaK (talk) 23:03, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Perhaps I'll take a listen too. As described above, I have a personal soft spot for Rutter's crew. But, although Higginbottom is another Cambridge connection (I followed him at Corpus Christi College), I dislike his version. The acoustic is all wrong, and for me the boys' voices don't work.

The Blue Bird updates
Thank you so much for continuing work on The Blue Bird. I hear it so much on various radio streams these days that I was surprised to find it missing. Two comments:
- A long time ago I'm sure I heard or read someone describe it as "the most impressionistic song in the English Language" or similar words. I can't find a source, although the much later Bitner comes close; did I imagine it?
- The description of the strophic form in "Background" is a slight non-sequitur as it's not directly connected to Blue Bird at that point. Do you think you can manage that connection?
A personal anecdote. At Cambridge in either 1970 or 1971, my now-wife and I were sitting on the bank of the Cam for the Choral Society's annual performance on the river. Those days (and maybe even now), after lighting lanterns on the punts, they would start the second half with The Blue Bird. As they sang, an actual bird flew up from the grass behind them and perched on a branch, as if to listen. It was very likely that John Rutter was there (he was a post-graduate student then) and I like to think the memory carried forward to the 1986 recording. David Brooks (talk) 18:49, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DavidBrooks Thank you for your kind message! I was similarly surprised to find out you only created the article back in December, it definitely feels like a piece which deserves an article of its own. Regarding your two comments, a Google search hasn't found anything which matches your quote, nor have any of the sources I've read so far (plenty about its general renown, however). I'll keep looking. And yes, I can address that point about strophic form - thanks for raising it. And thank you for sharing your anecdote, what a great story! Unexpectedlydian (talk) 19:04, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- On your user page: ], surely? I try not to edit other peoples' user pages :-) David Brooks (talk) 21:26, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for spotting! I'll change now :) Unexpectedlydian (talk) 09:57, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- You're very welcome. One question. Does Grove really say that CVS specified the soprano as solo? I'm sure that is a frequent practice, but it's not indicated in my copy – admittedly an American imprint, and I don't have the whole volume. When I conducted it (20 years ago!) we just split the sopranos because they outnumbered the altos anyway.David Brooks (talk) 13:59, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hmmm, whilst Grove doesn't specify that it's a solo, other sources do (the 2002 Dibble biography, for example). I've also just found the entry for The Blue Bird in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music (5 ed.), which does say it's or sop solo. However, the Oxford Dictionary also says it's Op.119 No.4 (rather than No.3), and that it was written in 1911, so not sure what's going on there. I'm not sure how to explain that the sop part can also be sung by a full sop section other than pointing towards the recordings, as nothing I've read so far explicitly says this. Unexpectedlydian (talk) 14:33, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Well, my original wording said "as...the first contralto part falls within the soprano range, it can be" performed either way, because the policy for musical works is you can make claims that are self-evident from the score. But I guess that is stretching the policy. David Brooks (talk) 04:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- @DavidBrooks FYI, I think the article is in a good state, so have submitted it to GAN. Hopefully getting the recognition the piece deserves! Unexpectedlydian (talk) 18:33, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good, and good luck. But (as I'm banned from commenting on the submission) I'd really like more attention to the authenticity of the "solo" statement. It seems extremely unlikely to me that CVS would intend a solo and then not designate the chorus as SATB. On the other hand, did he really have that many altos in mind? I wonder who wrote that in CODM, and where they got it from. I just remembered I have the non-concise 1985 ODM (Kennedy) 1989 reprint and it says the same. David Brooks (talk) 14:36, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'll do some more digging and see how the article can reflect this discrepancy in the meantime! Unexpectedlydian (talk) 13:17, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Rejoice in the Lamb citations
I noticed your GA nomination of Rejoice in the Lamb (your page is still in my watchlist). Rather than commenting publicly, I'd just like to point out: Dibbles 1996 and Riddles 1996 have no referents. Anyway, does "Dibbles" refer to Jeremy Dibble? And Is "Riddles" the 2006 article or something else? I notice these things because I have a script that highlights missing CITEREF targets.
I sung this thing at Dulwich College mid 1960s. I can still remember the experience! David Brooks (talk) 13:52, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ah thank you for spotting! I seem to have made up a new musicologist by combing the names Dibble and Riddles... I'll fix those now. I blame carelessness! Very useful script, I'll probably need it. Unexpectedlydian (talk) 15:32, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- You're welcome. In your common.js, you can add
importScript('User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js');which was the original, I think, but there are variants by users Svick and Trappist the monk (which has documentation at User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors) and yours truly. Mine adds a faint note in green showing the actual format of the target CITEREF within the expansion each CS1-style template, which makes it easier to correct the error.
- You're welcome. In your common.js, you can add
- Total change of topic: mention of Britten in the context of your user name reminds me of (I'll get there, I promise) Karl Jenkins's The Armed Man: Benedictus whose opening in D major rocks between that and an E major chord (sharpened 4th, get it?) although the idea doesn't carry forward into the vocal setting. After hearing it repeatedly on Classic FM (which I no longer listen to) I listened to BB's Dream which contains exactly the same idea, same chords, somewhere in the 2nd act. It's a simple trope so I wouldn't accuse KJ of plagiarism. David Brooks (talk) 16:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

An unexpectedly Lydian funeral anthem
Jimmy Macmillan's anthem Who shall separate us?, heard at the Abbey yesterday, is ostensibly in E major but all the A's on the first stanza are unexpectedly sharpened. So of course I thought of you. David Brooks (talk) 19:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Private Peaceful
The edits you made to Private Peaceful may have the wrong year on them. Great Mercian (talk) 16:41, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Great Mercian, thanks for your message. Can you point out which dates might be wrong? Unexpectedlydiantalk 19:36, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Unexpectedlydian:.
- Pretty much anytime real life history is mentioned, for example: "Morpurgo has said that inspiration for the plot of Private Peaceful came from the story of Sergeant John Thomas Wall, who was executed for desertion on 6 September 2017." I suggest you review the text yourself as this is too complex for me. Great Mercian (talk) 21:02, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Ah! Thank you so much for spotting those. I am fixing them now :) Unexpectedlydiantalk 21:36, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
