St. Cecilia Mass
[edit]
- ... that Camille Saint-Saëns commented after the premiere of the St. Cecilia Mass by Charles Gounod (pictured) that "at first one was dazzled, then charmed, then conquered"?
Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self nominated at 22:20, 1 January 2015 (UTC).
- Thank you for a bit of patience. I wrote it on Christmas Day, because we sang it then, forgot it over celebrating and had to nominate ;) - There will be more. The music is on my mind ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Added some history, including:
- ALT1: ... that parts of the St. Cecilia Mass by Charles Gounod (pictured) were already performed in London on 13 January 1851, four years before the premiere in Paris on St. Cecilia's Day?
- with a date suggestion. Ref formatted, will keep looking for others, - the typical problem with translations from German, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:19, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
for ALT1, pending reassurance re Allmusic site, for the original. The original hook is somewhat better though imo. Johnbod (talk) 04:25, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- What do you think of the original hook, on the 13th? - Allmusic is not the greatest of sites, but the first if you dig for refs for something unreferenced in the German version. As I said, I will try to find more supporting refs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:14, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
