October music

story · music · places

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) 12:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Here's BWV 91.6. DanCherek (talk) 23:52, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

BWV 91.6

Feels like a Christmas gift! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:03, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

next Wo soll ich fliehen hin, BWV 5 - today Rohan de Saram - unbelievable story --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:29, 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) 21:40, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

BWV 5.7. DanCherek (talk) 02:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

BWV 5.7

thank you, beautiful text and music! will nominate for GA now! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:21, 10 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 - Next cantata BWV 180 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:50, 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. - The cantata is for tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:09, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

I made Leif Segerstam my big story today. - The cantata was for last Sunday ;) -Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:02, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

BWV 180.7

Thank you so much. Cantata for tomorrow Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir, BWV 38 : 6. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

BWV 38.6

Thank you! It's my story today. Will look at BWV 115 next. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, taken with one added letter for the German. - My story is about a composer and choir conductor, listen to his Lamento. - My story on 13 October was about a Bach cantata. As this place works, it's on the Main page now because of the date (but Bach wrote it for the 20th Sunday, not the Tuesday after the 21st Sunday after Trinity). I sort of like it because today is the birth date of my grandfather who loved and grew dahlias like those pictured. ----Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Just noting that Afrodiplomacy, who posted here, is a now blocked sock

Doug Weller talk 10:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for letting me know! DanCherek (talk) 12:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
