Te lucis ante terminum (Gardiner)
[edit]- ... that the self-critical H. Balfour Gardiner may have destroyed his symphonies but not his Evening Hymn "Te lucis ante terminum" for choir and organ? Source: [1]

Article size okay at 2479B readable prose. Article creation date and filing date okay. Article neutrality and citing okay. Ran one of the copyvio tools, don't see any issues. No images to be concerned with. Hook length okay at 151 characters. Hook interest is good – I've seen the excessively self-critical syndrome in family relations, so there is some curiosity in seeing what makes it through. Hook neutrality is okay and sourcing verified in online book page. The hook wording varies a bit from what the article text says though. QPQ done.
- Outside of DYK criteria, I noticed three short, choppy sentences in a row at the end of the "History" section. Also McVicker says this is unrepresentative of Gardiner's other works – if other critics agree, that might be worth mentioning. Anyway, this is a nicely done little article and okay for DYK.

- Thank you! I tried to fix the choppyness that happened when adding another fact. We sang it yesterday, "Amen" great for the altos, - would love to mention the detail about "one of the best alto entries ever" found on one of the recordings, but sorry, no RS. I know it's true ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
