Christen, ätzet diesen Tag, BWV 63[edit]

(
)

Liebfrauenkirche Halle

  • Reviewed: Wroniec (book)
  • Comment: suggested for Christmas day, a start, I will see what I can do to supply a link to Christmas cantata and the church

Created/expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self nom at 13:35, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

  • Now with a link to the church:
ALT1:... that Bach's first Christmas cantata Christen, ätzet diesen Tag, BWV 63 (Christians, engrave this day), scored lavishly with four trumpets, timpani and three oboes, was likely performed in the Liebfrauenkirche in Halle (pictured)?
ALT2:... that Bach's first Christmas cantata Christen, ätzet diesen Tag, BWV 63 (Christians, engrave this day), which is scored lavishly but has "no music for the shepherds or for the angels", was likely performed in the Liebfrauenkirche in Halle (pictured)?
  • "Likely" seems rather more definite than the article or the sources I looked at (refs 2 & 3). Also "first" is not the same as "earliest surviving". The proposed hooks are in any case too long. Article expansion size is fine.--Peter cohen (talk) 01:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks for looking. How can we word that even if it was not first performed there, it was performed there in 1717 according to Gardiner. It looks like the church itself can also be nominated, the hook should not be too long for a double hook. Trying to name the source (same as for the quote):
ALT3:... that according to John Eliot Gardiner, Bach's earliest surviving Christmas cantata Christen, ätzet diesen Tag, BWV 63, which is scored lavishly but has "no music for the shepherds or for the angels", was performed in the Liebfrauenkirche in Halle (pictured)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:57, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
This is still over the 200 but there is some flexibility allowed to whoever posts it.
does fit. Are you happy with that or do you want to propose another version?--Peter cohen (talk)
Happy! The article titles don't count, as far as I know,
