The Dream of Jacob[edit]
- ... that The Dream of Jacob, a composition by Krzysztof Penderecki based on the biblical account of Jacob's Ladder, was featured in the American horror movie The Shining?
Created by Wildbill hitchcock (talk). Self nominated at 20:49, 10 February 2014 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced. Hook ref verified and cited inline. I tweaked the hook, adding "the biblical account". Nominator has less than 5 DYK nominations, so no QPQ necessary. There is just a bit of close paraphrasing in the second paragraph under Analysis; the line, "also the composition with which Penderecki overtly anticipated his neo-Romantic style, which he soon adopted", cited to footnote 6, closely paraphrases footnote 4: "it is a crucial work in Penderecki's output through anticipating the overtly neo-Romantic approach he soon adopted".

- I just added the reference. Is it enough if I add the footnote or should I modify the sentence as well? Thank you. Wildbill hitchcock (talk) 07:18, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- It's best to write it in your own words. If you can't, quote the words from the source directly and put them in quote marks. Yoninah (talk) 10:33, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
- Just changed it a little bit. If it still needs improving, please let me know. Wildbill hitchcock (talk) 10:52, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
