Bach's cantata was performed 300 years ago, by occasion. - With a chorale #6. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:37, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's main page has again memories of three people who died, for two just the name and for the third an image (great!) coupled with a little bit from her life which seems too little for my taste. What do you think? - A friend of mine sang in Verdi's Requiem at Trinity Church, - you can watch the lifestream (Verdi about 30 minutes into it). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:48, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recommended reading today: Christfried Schmidt, a story about patience. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:14, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ich bin ein guter Hirt, BWV 85 seems to have an interesting chorale ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the updates! Currently in Japan on vacation so not replying as frequently as I can but looking forward to catching up! DanCherek (talk) 21:44, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

enjoy your vacation! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

birthday of Erik Satie - can we get his article to GA for his centenary of death? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:53, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A first: two stories about two people who worked together and died the same day - any chance for a lilypond for BWV 128 for 29 May? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:18, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

reasons to look at Bach (and listen): it's a recent GA (not by me), he assumed the position of Thomaskantor OTD in 1723, he's up for PR, and several of his cantatas for GA, and his Easter Oratorio for FAC --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, I hope you're enjoying Japan!

I’ve been reviewing The House of Asterion and am impressed by the article’s quality. I believe it may be ready for a FA nomination and would like to propose it at FAC. Since it's my first FA nomination and I haven’t contributed significantly to the article's development, I wanted to check in with you first to see what you think and if you'd like to be involved in the nomination.

Thanks! Mooonswimmer 10:37, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mooonswimmer, thanks for the kind message. Currently on my phone at the airport, so let me write you an actual reply within the next day, just didn’t want you to think I had missed this. (My answer will almost certainly be “go for it” but I will think to see if there’s anything else I thought the article was lacking.) DanCherek (talk) 23:26, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
