Talk:Cantique de Jean Racine

Choir singing incorrectly
According to the (few) scores I've checked, the alto d in measures 46 and 47 (text: "... son de ...") is a natural d - exactly parallel to m.42/43. The choir, however, sings d-flats in m.46/47.

The version linked at the Spanish WP entry gets it right - see link at the right.

 * Works for me, but perhaps ping the person who recently did quite a few edits, looks like s/he may also be a contributor to de.wiki?  Montanabw (talk)  05:54, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

History
The article lists Montivilliers Abbey (St Savour) as the place where this work was first performed in 1866, citing a reference to a German website. However, Nectoux (the biographical authority - Jean-Michel Nectoux & Roger Nicholls, Gabriel Fauré: A Musical Life (Cambridge University Press, 1992), pp. 13-15) clearly indicates that this performance took place at Basilique St.-Sauveur in Rennes, where Fauré was first employed after graduating the previous year. Someone may have made a simple mistake - please verify and amend? Callastian (talk) 15:38, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The citations given on that German website (on the page about Faure) are:
 * Marc Honegger/Günther Massenkeil (Hrsg.): Das große Lexikon der Musik, Band 3, Verlag Herder Freiburg, 1992
 * Siegmar Hohl in: Siegmar Hohl (Hrsg.): Musikführer. Oper, Operette, Musical, Ballett, Konzert, Orbis Verlag München, 1995
 * I cannot look into either of them, so I cannot find out whether and how the date and location was specified there. Is the date for the Rennes performance you cite the same one (then probably someone has made an error) or a different one (then, they might disagree what a "full scale performance" is?)? --User:Haraldmmueller 16:23, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Quote from Zachary Gates
Zachary Gates is not a notable scholar and the paper cited is not published (except on Scribd) nor peer-reviewed. I suggest this quotation be eliminated since it is not of very great analytical depth anyway (what is the meaning of "atonal note choices" in an 1860s-style piece?). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:9E00:6B00:D084:EA58:9386:DD8C (talk) 14:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
