Greeting Prelude
- ... that Igor Stravinsky called his 1955 orchestral work Greeting Prelude "a kind of singing telegram"? Source: "He remembered "Happy Birthday to You", however, and in 1951 ... set about composing canons on it ... and in 1955 he turned it into what he called "a kind of singing telegram" for the 80th birthday of Pierre Monteux." in Stravinsky: The Composer and his Works by Eric Walter White, p. 481

Created by CurryTime7-24 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:28, 27 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Greeting Prelude; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. I must AGF on the offline source from White, but it seems to check out with the quotation provided here. Suggest adding a cite invoke immediately adjacent to the quote in the body. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:37, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just so I know we're on the same page, you want me to add another citation to White, even though the same is cited in the sentence that follows? Also, were you interested in one more ALT? I figure that one about how the work is based on "Happy Birthday to You" would be appealing to a lot of readers. Thanks. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 21:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- @CurryTime7-24: At least for DYK purposes, yeah. And another ALT is always welcome. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:24, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
