Pange lingua, WAB 33
[edit]- ... that when Franz Xaver Witt issued Brucker's motet Pange lingua in his journal, he removed "some of the work's more daring harmonies" without the composer's consent?
Created by Meneerke bloem (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 23:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC).

- Comment Hook is interesting, cited in the article and neutral (AgF for the reference), but presumes the reader knows what a motet is. Also, the name of Witt will not ring a bell with the general audience. Perhaps: "... that when Brucker's choral piece Pange lingua was published in Musica sacra, the journal's editor changed the piece without the composer's consent?"

- Fine, the broader audience of the Main page probably doesn't care that motet is more precise than chorale piece. Would have liked the "daring harmonies", though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- How about 'the journal's editor removed some "daring harmonies"'? QVVERTYVS (hm?) 23:12, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

The article length is good, the copyvio check came back with no suspicious results and the hook is cited in the article to an online source. Personally, I prefer the original hook over ALT1, but I would wikilink both 'Franz Xavier Witt and 'motet'.-RHM22 (talk) 04:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
