Vor Arneths Grab, WAB 53[edit]

  • ... that Bruckner's elegy Vor Arneths Grab was performed at the graveside by men's voices and trombones for the funeral of Michael Arneth, prior of St. Florian Abbey?

Created by Meneerke bloem (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 23:47, 25 November 2014 (UTC).

  • @Gerda Arendt: kindly submit a QPQ to go with this nomination. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Did the rules change? I remember no QPQ for not a self nom? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:47, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Yes, the rules changed on November 21. Since you have 117 nomination credits to your name on the DYKSTATS, I figure you are well past your first 5 non-self-nominations ;). Yoninah (talk) 00:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Ready for review. Yoninah (talk) 00:49, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment: It would be "men's" voices, not "mens"; but I would recommend changing "men's voices" to "male choir"/"male voices", as otherwise it sounds a bit accidental—i.e. like there just happened to be some men at the scene making noise. It Is Me Here t / c 13:03, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
I try to avoid male/female as I understood that those are good for animals, - did you hear about gender gap? ;) - I agree that it should be men's, not mens. A choir can't have a gender, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerda Arendt (talkcontribs) 13:30, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Calling a group a "male choir" is quite common: see e.g. Pontarddulais Male Choir, The Male Choir of St. Petersburg, Royal Dunedin Male Choir, Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir. It Is Me Here t / c 17:42, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Sure, in English speaking areas. This is Austria, and it would have been a Männerchor, Liedertafel, or even solo voices on the parts. A voice also has no gender ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:11, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are accepted in good faith. The article is neutral but I was unable to assess whether there is any close paraphrasing because the sources were not available to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
