Das neugeborne Kindelein, BWV 122

(

... that Das neugeborne Kindelein, BWV 122, is a "moral hangover" after overindulging at Christmas?

I inserted a comma. I fail to see why a Christmas cantata should presented now. Pentecost (BWV 74) seems strange enough. ~~I try to expand the one for next Sunday, BWV 39, but will probably be told we have too many ;)~~ --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Unlike something like WP:OTD, there's no date relevance requirement, and waiting till then will put this well past the "recently expanded" rule. Besides, every day is Christmas ;) Nikkimaria (talk) 23:52, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

I agree with "Everyday is Christmas". I don't agree with the "moral hangover", taken from the line (the first line about the music!) "Despite the celebratory occasion, the piece offers listeners a "moral hangover" after the possible overindulgence of the holidays." Excuse me, I don't believe this is factual and encyclopedic. There is no "celebratory occasion" on the Sunday AFTER Christmas (for which the cantata was written, which the hook doesn't tell us). It's a normal Sunday, look at the Christmas Oratorio: 6 parts, 5 with brass, one without, the one for the ordinary Sunday. The instrumentation tells you something if you listen ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Article is sufficiently expanded. However, I have reworded the article slightly; the "moral hangover" is now (I hope more correctly) indicated as one writer's view, not definitive. So I would suggest this:

ALT1 *... that Das neugeborne Kindelein, BWV 122, has been described as providing a "moral hangover" for listeners after Christmas overindulgence?

But as I've edited the article and suggested a revised hook, someone else will have to complete the review. Bencherlite ^Talk 18:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Everything looks to be in order to me. --TKK ^{bark !} 13:48, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
