Today's story comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:25, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda! Floquenbeam (talk) 17:21, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Ode to Joy! Floquenbeam (talk) 16:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC) Oops, got my symphonies confused. Note to self: look stuff up to be sure BEFORE hitting publish, not right after. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:14, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

You could give me the same note, all the time. Interesting photographer in my story, - just look at youtube if you have little time. - Some new pics that look like vacation, - beach, from the third monastery, and dinner there, for the first time in a restaurant on the trip. - How do you like my Notre-Dame pic? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:50, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places, particularly stunning today), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I come to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:12, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Today is a woman poet's centenary. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Hauptfriedhof Mainz today (remember November?) - if you have the time, take the YouTube walk by a young man from from Jamaica, speaking English. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Today it's another great woman, soprano Sigrid Kehl, and I found a 1963 Christmas Oratorio detail. 10 years earlier than that cycle, Bach wrote seven cantatas for the 1724 season, based on seven songs, - my focus this year. Expect three stories for the three days they celebrated in Leipzig ;) - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

My first Christmas story is about Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 91, 300 years today, and its song, 500 years old. Enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Similarly, my second Christmas story is about Christum wir sollen loben schon, BWV 121, 300 years today, and its song, 500 years old. An aria is inspired by a baby leaping in his mother's womb. Enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:33, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

My third Christmas story is different. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for a year of interesting articles and beautiful pictures and kind words. Have a great New Years Eve, and I'm hoping for a better-than-expected 2025. --Floquenbeam (talk)
