The opening chorus
of Bach's chorale cantata
Ich freue mich in dir, BWV 133,
is thought to persuasively express
"the essence, the exuberance
and the sheer exhilaration of Christmas".

September music

story · music · places

Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022, impressed me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:40, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for good observation! - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Happy because my story today is about a Czech mezzo soprano who is mentioned on the Main page on her birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

My story today features a pic I took from my position in the choir, I can also offer varied delightful music, some from Venice, also with pics I took, - note the rose in the clarinet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:46, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Nathaniel Coe

On 10 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nathaniel Coe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nathaniel Coe. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Nathaniel Coe), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

today Rohan de Saram - unbelievable story --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Today is the birthday of Tabea Zimmermann, and you can listen to the exact concert I mentioned last year ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Today I remember an organist who was pictured on the Main page on his birthday ten years ago, and I found two recent organ concerts to match, - see top of my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:31, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Today brought a timely promotion of Helmut Bauer to the Main page on the day when pieces from Mozart's Requiem were performed for him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

I made Leif Segerstam my big story today as you know ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:05, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook. I had forgotten the discussion on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

For a surprise, a Bach cantata is on the Main page today, where it was last year for the 300th anniversary, and they were too lazy to find something new ;) - Look at my story, and listen to the 3 whole-tone steps and the dialogues of Fear and Hope. - An open letter open to be signed (more info on the talk), - I haven't checked if you did, please ignore then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:01, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

I uploaded more pics, on a mountain in the sun above the fog. - Madeleine Riffaud - remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:07, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

I will travel today and have no idea if will be able to update my story tomorrow, probably not, lengthy travel, then 2 weeks with doubtful internet, celebrating. Could you do that perhaps if you see it's late? Last year's is good but I'll change it in case another Recent death gets posted, - 3 are open. Many DYK are open, - your pic expertise might help for Perplexities after Escher, and I'd appreciate a watchful eye elsewhere. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Your admiration for Hopper reminds me of my visit to an amazing 2019 exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The museum recreated Western Motel and people could actually spend in the night in there. The lighting was a perfect match. I have photos and a video clip, but not sure it's allowed on Commons. The rest of the exhibit was also a treat. APK hi :-) (talk) 10:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

What gets me about Western Motel is the color of the room. That pea green color was everywhere in the US up until maybe the late 1970s, at which point people finally had enough and said no more. How did that happen? Why was the color acceptable one minute, and the next, socially verboten? For many years now, I've been fascinated with the idea of sea changes or paradigm shifts in art. Just yesterday, I was obsessing on Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, trying to figure out how his interest in open-air painting laid a small part of the foundation for the Impressionists, who would emerge 50 years after his death.

• Claire Oppert (2024). The Schubert Treatment: A Story of Music and Healing. "In The Schubert Treatment, Oppert recounts her remarkable story of healing suffering through music, alongside portraits of the many people she has helped. Born into a family of doctors and artists, Oppert trained as a classical cellist and began playing at a center for autistic youth, where she witnessed how music could connect with even the most difficult-to-reach patients. Later, she began working as an art therapist with people with neurodegenerative diseases and palliative care patients, eventually conducting clinical trials that proved the effect of her "Schubert treatment": using music as a counter-stimulation to reduce pain and anxiety during stressful procedures."

I'm always interested in adoption, User:Flibirigit, but it looks like User:Launchballer is trying to close it out quick, and I'm not a huge fan of working against the clock when I have so many other things going on. If Launchballer can hold off on closing, I would be happy to take a look and see what I can do. Viriditas (talk) 21:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

@Flibirigit: it's unfortunate, but I don't have access to any of the sources needed to resolve the maintenance tag issue. I also don't have access to the Misplaced Pages Library, which could help resolve this. Due to this set of unique circumstances, I'm not sure how much help I can offer here. It might be the case that these sources are available on the Internet Archive, but I don't see any links to it at this time. Viriditas (talk) 21:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Note, it looks like a set of similar editorial problems have led to issues in the GA process for their other articles, so this isn't confined to just Diane Leather.
