(Moved from template above for clarity) “metric psalms” is rather technical language. And not clear that Calvin wrote the lyrics…? Maybe “melodies adapted to the psalms of John Calvin’s Church of Geneva,” similar to what is used in the article? Montanabw^(talk) 18:54, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for looking into it. I'm sorry, I nominated in a bit of a rush for fear to be late. The first translator was LouisAlain who was sadly banned afterwards. He says he isn't interested in credits, and I believe him. How is this:

ALT1: ... ~~that melodies by Guillaume Franc to French psalms published in Geneva in 1542 are still in use in the 21st century?~~

I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Climate change in Malaysia. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I like that better, but perhaps a wee bit of grammatical tweaking. How about something like, “Psalms in French, set to music by Guillaume Franc and published in Geneva in 1542 are still in use in the 21st century?” Maybe that’s a bit of a run-on sentence, but the psalms aren’t themselves French, just the translation…Montanabw^(talk) 07:09, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the offer but that would not be topic of the article. About the French psalms by Calvin, I know nothing. Franc composed melodies for them, and these melodies are in use with hymns in German, some with modern texts. How is this:

ALT1a: ... that melodies by Guillaume Franc, composed to French psalms published in Geneva in 1542, are still in use in the 21st century?

It would be easy to link to the famous Genevan Psalter, but unfortunately that was published later, and it's less clear how many melodies there were still by Franc. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:55, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That works. Good to go with hook ALT1a. Montanabw^(talk) 03:06, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
