• 5x expanded, in time, long enough, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done, image is appropriately tagged. Gerda Arendt, which source says that it is Luther's translation? Also, the line about Hubert Parry should have a citation. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:11, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for looking! Luther's translation was The translation, for centuries, as Schütz, Brahms, and Kempff all used the same. It's what KJV is for English. look: a 1951 differs a lot, but is sort of respectful to the incipit. We can drop it, of course. The Parry: all I have is the sound file which - I thought - shouldn't stand unconnected. It's the lead file for Anglican chant. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:40, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that Psalm 84 about God's lovely dwellings was set to music by Heinrich Schütz, by Brahms in the centre of Ein deutsches Requiem, and as Wilhelm Kempff's Op. 1 (title page pictured)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:33, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Approving ALT1. (Sorry Gerda Arendt, only saw now that you responded in March; always feel free to ping me!) How would you feel about changing "in the centre of Ein deutsches Requiem" to "in the centre of his Requiem"? --Usernameunique (talk) 22:11, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

No rush at all, - I'd like this to be close to GA quality when appearing, - working on it. - No, - I'd like to say somehow that it's all in German, and the piece by Brahms has only (part of) the title in common with those by Mozart and Verdi, which readers will be more likely to know. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
