Thank you for the exquisite list of works by Hildegard von Bingen. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your thanks :) I'll attempt to add individual links to the International Society of Hildegard at some point. Aza24 (talk) 22:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Good idea! I did that for Reger works. - I fixed the link (hit "publish" too soon) to the pictures of "her". The nuns sing vespers at 5:30pm. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
That painting of Reger on the comp list is stunning! Is that Convent the one she founded? Aza24 (talk) 23:11, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Yes and no. She founded the convent at the location, but nothing of it remained after the monasteries were closed in the 19th century. The present building dates to around 1900, but they imagined Romanesque style. Her shrine is in the village church, in walking distance. A museum dedicated mostly to her is in Bingen, across the Rhine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:34, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Very interesting Aza24 (talk) 04:00, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Great job to you and Grimes2 on Jürgen Ahrend — I love the table of organs! Aza24 (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
I loved the table that was there when I met the article, - actually there was almost nothing but the table, and in the table, not even the organs were linked, nor most of the churches, - it was a challenge. I was afraid a reference would be requred for every organ, but obviously the pics were enough. I was afraid someone would complain that the sons works don't belong in the father's bio, but no. (I would not have known where to put them. In German, the article is about the workshop.) - New pics, enormous clouds and a rainbow. A bit like on the Hildegard day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:19, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:45, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
It is extraordinary! My apologies on not responding to your email yet—things have been crazy here. I'll attempt to do so either tonight or tomorrow. Wanted to consider different ideas more thoroughly first. Aza24 (talk) 01:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
No worries! - Today's story is about education, 10 years OTD after lecturing our founder). Music for today's feast is Monteverdi's, the best concert we ever did (so pictured again on my talk), but it wasn't recorded, substituted with a "Pacific" one that comes with subtitles line by line in Latin and English: I learned something! - Latest places are in Frankfurt, the restaurant sadly closed in August. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
I began translating St. Hildegard, Eibingen, and learned that it is the site of Hildegard's foundation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about a stage director, - watch Aida, so tender so cruel. - Here's the happy librettist. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Did you know that my first DYK was 15 years ago OTD, about a friend of mine who had a red link? I just returned from a wonderful concert with only music I had never heard before, - the youngest composer (of 12, 2 of them women) born 1988 (a red link), heavenly from start to finish! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
That is an impressive program indeed! Aza24 (talk) 17:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
And today the festival kindly told us (listeners) what the encore was: Ben Parry's Flame, performed with the singers evenly distributed in the side aisles of the basilica, - I was close to a tenor who sang from memory. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Sunday story about another of Bach's chorale cantatas, listen, as I listened to two impressive very different choral concerts, - music by 16 composers. In the latest cloudy pictures: a hidden deer, a cat and a blaze of a sunset. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:02, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Per an IP edit today, I looked at Alexander Goehr. Heavily edited by IPs and an all red-link user. Jerome Kohl consolidated in 2009, but it has grown since, looking very different from other composer articles, - hope he'll be blessed with a long life! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
He died today. Any help welcome. I just remembered him, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
(... and the DYK for his opera was the same day in 2019 as he now died.) Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Goehr now too?! Ugh. I'll try to look but am super busy this week – Aza24 (talk) 11:53, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
I somehow knew with that first IP edit. (remember Kurtág?) - Probably one of his children, and with a user name now. - I'm at his article and just found that pretty much was copied word for word from Schott, and so just needs rephrasing (which is easier than finding plenty of different sources). I'll just comment out what's not referenced after the process but am now confident that enough will remain. Take your time. Did you see the Pachelbel pic discussion? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

update: he died on 25 August, we have now a good obit, and I can drop the superstition ;) - Do you have access to his Grove entry? Then you could just add the Williams 2001 ref to all facts it supports. I'll drop unreferenced stuff in a few days. Great concert tonight with Beethoven's Violin Concerto, pictured on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:40, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the trimming! Just what I needed to nominate. Today is the birthday of Alma Mahler. I believe that Siegfried Lorenz should be mentioned on the Main page among the Recent deaths, and for him, it's the last day today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

... and he appeared! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:15, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Nice! Aza24 (talk) 22:16, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Now to the other. Thank you for adding the writings! As I write this, there are 2 "citation needed", one for Boulez programming his works in his Paris concert series, the other for Arden Must Die. I must eat ;) - the best day for him to appear would be today but if we don't manage we can claim that his death was only known 26 August, winning one more day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:51, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Relief: posted ;) - The two bits are commented out. More could be had from new source, and from the timeline from Schott (which I hesitate to use though, because Op. 6 comes before Op. 1, and Op. 2 in memory of Prokofiev was written before he died. Perhaps Op. 6 was begun earlier, and the dedication came later, but such details don't show in a timeline). I'll be out for the rest of the day, take care of the article, please. Main page appearance is a mixed blessing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

Hello Aza24:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

I'll try to, but no promises :) Aza24 (talk) 00:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your part! What do you think of my short version of his life? I wanted to match the pic, and arrived at Brian's Monteverdi, nicely matching yesterday's Vespers. (Monteverdi dedicated it to the Pope on 1 September, and be performed it on 1 Septembe 2019.) I had forgotten the Poppea discussion that I revisited in the process ;) - Much ado about nothing. Do you think that the time has come for the opera to give the reader time and place at a glance, as 1000+ other operas do? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:08, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022 impressed me. - The latest places were museums in Frankfurt. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:28, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk)

Happier about Bach's cantata on the Main page on its 300th birthday (per calendar), my story (again)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Glad to see! I added the soprano's book to the further reading section of her great-grandfather. You could include the full citation on her page as well, if you want Aza24 (talk) 21:55, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, will do. - Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:03, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with a DYK hook from 2010 and another from 2014, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
Today I think of a man who stood up for Peaceful Revolution, sadly because he died, and the cantata Bach composed for today's 16th Sunday after Trinity. That was not written by me, only marginally when I updated early beginnings. Then came Nikkimaria, then Francis Schonken, then - and mostly - Mathsci. The result is epic. I dream of making Bach's chorale cantatas a featured topic, so nominated it for GA (Francis and Mathsci can't.) You were the first one coming to my mind as a reviewer who could do justice to it. I know that you are busy, - what do you think? (Just explaining why I thanked you for a space earlier today.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
Happy to talk a look! It may be a few days before I can get to a review on my end—hope that's okay. Haha I was wondering what that thank you was about! Aza24 (talk) 04:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
Great, no rush. I'll try to have it OTD on the day of the first performance, and then it's not eligible for DYK anyway, besides being too late, and me not enjoying DYK much because ... --/forgot to sign)
Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost, BWV 114, is one of the pieces in my topic of this year. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:04, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
My story today features a pic I took from my position in the choir, I can also offer varied delightful music, some from Venice, also with pics I took, - note the rose in the clarinet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:53, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
