Disambiguation link notification for October 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gadi Taub, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Commentator (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A year ago, you were recipient no. 1345 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:32, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Danke! Jetzt freue ich mich schon auf den 12. März 2018 :) LG, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 17:57, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

heute! - any advice for Psalm 84? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:28, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tatsächlich hast du dran gedacht!! Offenbar hast du eine automatische Erinnerung dafür eingerichtet... - Den Psalmartikel kann ich mir mal anschauen. Aber du weißt ja, Englisch ist für mich eher mühsam. Mehr Sorge machen mir die deutschen Psalmartikel, die wie die Pilze aus dem Boden schießen, aber größtenteils inhaltslos und überflüssig. Herzliche Grüße, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 08:48, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Danke, auch für die Psalmergänzung! 130 wäre der nächste Wunsch. Bach's Kantate darüber habe ich gestern gehört, wunderbar! - Bei Psalm 130 gibt es eine sonderbare Liste von Vertonungen, die davon auszugehen scheint, dass der Psalm Teil des Requiems ist. (s. talk) - Mein Gedächtnis hat große Lücken, aber klick einfach auf 1345 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:48, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wahrer Gott, wir glauben dir, gibt's dazu weitere Quellen? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nicht dass ich wüsste. LG, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 14:55, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Today - for personal reasons - Zu den heiligen Engeln. I love your image! Any chance for an interior shot or two? Could you place it/them all also in categories where I would find them, such as Kirchrode (Hannover)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:48, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nein, weitere Bilder habe ich leider nicht, und ich werde auch so bald nicht dort hinkommen... Gruß, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 12:26, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Das ist lange überstanden, und dein Bild siert die Startseite, - gut in der Adventszeit. Kennst du Norbert Joachim (Pfarrer dort)? - Danke für die wichtigen Teile von Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen! Für Weihnachten. Wir haben es gerade gesungen, sehr leise und langsam bei "ohne Zeit". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:58, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neues Lied: Mit Ernst, o Menschenkinder, und wir haben nichts über den Autor, den Dichterkeis, die Preußischen Festlieder, das Hannoversche Gesangbuch ... letztere nicht einmal deutsch. - Mehr Musik auf meiner talk page, heute sogar buchstäblich "Nun singt ein neues Lied" ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Na das ist doch sehr schön! Möge das Interesse der englischsprachigen Welt an deutschen Kirchenliedern beständig wachsen :) Eine gute Adventszeit! --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 17:52, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the image of Adelheid Wette - it really improves the article and it’s fascinating to see what she looked like!

T. E. Meeks (talk) 13:25, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure! Though, I'd have preferred a portrait from her more mature years, with more traces of life and thought... --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 13:45, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a great way to put what others call wrinkles, thank you! - What I came to say was thank you for Gegrüßet seist du, Königin, in German, with great sound examples and other files. When I translated, I left out much about metrics, because I don't know these terms in English, and because I would not know how to cite the facts inline. I guess it's all in the book now under "Further reading", but I would need page numbers. Could you help? - Sorry that I ask only now when it's on the the Main page (intentionally on a Marian feast day), but I was distracted by too much work in memoriam and vacation days. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gerda, it‘s long ago, I‘m not sure, but I think I derived the metric informations from evidence - counting syllables and accents... Your article is good enough wirhout that :) Greetings, Peter Rabanus Flavus (talk) 19:07, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are soo kind ;) - Today, I also learned that Yvonne Ciannella died, the soprano who impressed me in my first night at the opera, and as she died in March, sadly no Main page reverence is possible, - at least she had a good DYK, at a time when opera singers were considered interesting. I'm proud today that Christiane Hörbiger made it to that corner, and happy that we celebrate the birthday of Jean Sibelius again. - I heard an excellent Christmas concert yesterday, by Tenebrae, and a short excerpt of them singing "Deo gracias" is also linked from my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:33, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Today was a day rich in music, with two new pictures, and also rich in WP:QAI contributions on the Main page: the TFA, 2 DYK and 2 RD with members as principal editors. The church pictured there (not by me, nice snow dust and tall evergreen) comes with memories, detailed on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Today, pictured, the soprano of our choral concert of the year. More in the context: User talk:Gerda Arendt#DYK for Talia Or, in case of interest. - Frohe Weihnachtszeit! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:47, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Gerda Arendt, danke, auch dir beste Wünsche für 2024! (Irgendwo habe ich gelesen, der Knigge erlaube Neujahrswünsche bis zum 15. Januar, danach nicht mehr...) Was Bones Epiphanie-Lied betrifft, kann ich leider nicht weiterhelfen.

Ich hatte bereits Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, BWV 12 zu meiner Geschichte für heute gemacht, einfach weil es die Kantate für Jubilate ist, als ich erfuhr, dass unser Freund Norbert Joachim verstorben ist, letzten Sonntag, als für Bach der Gute Hirte an der Reihe war, Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104, und ich viele Schafe gesehen habe, s. "places". Ich habe ein bisschen zu seinem Wirken bei den Heiligen Engeln eingefügt, - schreib gerne mehr dazu. "Hirtendienst" stand im Trauerbrief, Himmelsschlüssel sind das Bild für den Monat. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Gerda, ja ich kannte und schätzte ihn aus meiner Zeit in der Region Hannover. Aber weitere Details über ihn kenne ich nicht. - Der Kantatentext sagt alles! Gruß, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 18:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear (DYK) and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old (OTD). - I returned to the Holy Angels and took more pics. A gentleman sitting in front of me wanted to win me for the church choir ;) - We chatted a bit (that I live too far away ...) and I understood that he was with Norbert Joachim in the final weeks. - At a private function at the church, we sang Nun bitten wir den Heiligen Geist (Luther's) and Nun danket alle Gott. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story is my little contribution to Trinity Sunday, with a church named after the Trinity (which I'd have liked to see pictured, and what would be a good description of that kind of facade? "splendid" was reverted as not neutral) and a cantata Bach conducted 300 years ago for the occasion (having composed it 9 years earlier). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:54, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Question about Bella ciao.mid

The description lists Peter Gerloff, may you give a link to him and who he is, as I have found multiple people with Peter Gerloff as their name. The closest I could find was a German article of him and this. I am just adding to the Bella Ciao article and it's soundtracks, using one you uploaded. For now I will use the German Peter Gerloff until further notice. Thank you! Гай (talk) 14:28, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nojboj, the German WP article Peter Gerloff is about me. The better external link is [1], but of course it's in German, too. Greetings, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 15:20, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is really cool. I appreciate it.

Would the code in the corner be sufficient, or is there anything else you might want to clarify?

October music

Today brought a timely promotion of Helmut Bauer (bishop) to the Main page on the day when pieces from Mozart's Requiem were performed for him! Did you know about the choice of songs? Two are still just a redirect ;) - To match: we (choir) just took the trip to Franconia, pictured under "places", including an organ concerto and a tour of harpsichords, both with music by Mozart. - I bet you would have liked the Lichtkunst at our church. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:14, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Madeleine Riffaud - remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:33, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event (Zu den heiligen Engeln), but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. - Guess what we sang at the grave? "Geh ins Land von Licht und Frieden". My choir friend and I sang the "second" stanza - we thought - in English, but had - as only a translation - too many syllables ;) - A singable English version would be great for funerals like this when the one who died and a third of the congregation, and therefore also the priest, spoke English. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sharing! Did you sing with the "Song of Joy" tune? - For singable English versions, my faculties don't suffice... --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 21:44, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Song of Joy tune. For the first 3 lines, you can just connect syllables to make it work, "Go to-the land of light and peace, find your-way home to Paradise! See what-is diff'rent from the world ...", but the 4th line poses a major problem ;) In the later part, there are rather too few syllables. I am sure it doesn't have to rhyme. Anyway, our company was delighted! "Angels may be your companions" works perfectly! I may try some day when I didn't have to take dear company to the airport at 5:50am. Perhaps Jim can help then. (Jim, RF wrote the German text.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:26, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, if you send me the four lines in German, and your four line English translation, I will do my best to re-write the English part. I do not claim any level of German fluency, but I studied the language in high school. If you send me a link to a recording of the four lines being sung in German, that would help. Cullen328 (talk) 23:41, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the offer. It's eight lines, and possibly on the internet (haven't checked), and was translated by Deepl. Will check after my morning routine, which includes change of the month. Perhaps Peter [de] could send you the text, or even put it here to discuss? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:31, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I checked, curious myself, and found it, one of five songs for funerals. We sang only the first stanza in a group of Jewish, Catholic and Protestant mourners. The song is inspired by parts of the Requiem, "Lux aeterna " and "In paradisum". I found no youtube. In the link, Jim, look for "An die Freude" or the title or just go to the last. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:42, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered.
