Unser Mund sei voll Lachens, BWV 110
[edit]
Annunciation to the Shepherds
... that in his cantata for Christmas (pictured) Unser Mund sei voll Lachens, BWV 110, Bach embedded "laughing" voices in the overture of his forth Orchestral Suite?
- Comment: Christmas, 25 December, - I am also going for GA
5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 21:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC).
The article is not yet a 5x expansion. It was 2515 characters before the beginning of expansion, and presently stands at 9149 char. The information in the charts does not figure into the character count. Yoninah (talk) 15:00, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Then something is wrong with DYK check because it says "93 edits ago on Dec 16" (for me). Perhaps DYK check knows a thing called mercy ;) -I'll try to find a GA reviewer, - was so relieved that I didn't have to press someone, now that people will have other things on their mind. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:04, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- ps: the longest paragraph, Music, in this version before the expansion was copyvio, compare Allmusic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, no problem with DYK check, my problem, I read well 16 December, but not 2011 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:04, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- No worries. It really is a well-written article, and will make a great GA! Yoninah (talk) 21:41, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- Review was started, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:52, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- Now GA, the review can go ahead, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:35, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Great work, Gerda. GA awarded today. New enough, long enough, neutrally worded, well referenced, all paragraphs and chart cited, no close paraphrasing seen. Regarding the hook, I don't see "'laughing' voices" in the article at all. I see references to "laughter in the music", but I don't understand that that has to do with voices. Also, do you have a QPQ to submit, or do you want one of mine? Yoninah (talk) 13:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

- Reviewed: Kör Yusuf Ziyaüddin Pasha. Hook: I tried to simplify what you quote. If you read the Mincham source, there's a detailed explanation of how the laughter works, - too detailed for the article, I thought. Of course it's the voices to carry the laughter, singing "La-a-a-a-a-a-a-a...". How is this (no image, there will be enough that day):
- ALT1: ... that in his Christmas cantata Unser Mund sei voll Lachens, BWV 110, Bach embedded voices in the overture of his forth Orchestral Suite and achieved a "marvellous rendition of laughter-in-music"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:35, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
