Talk:Jacques Arcadelt

Composer project review
I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles. This article merits promotion to A, and should be peer reviewed for recommendations on improvements needed for FA consideration. It could use more images; there are other minor complaints. My review is on the comments page; questions and comments can go here or on my talk page.  Magic ♪piano 03:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

A-Class?
I'm sorry, but there is no way that this article is A-Class. Look at WikiProject_Composers/Assessment, and compare this article with the articles just below it (Karlheinz Stockhausen and Arthur Sullivan). This has to be some joke. --Toccata quarta (talk) 07:54, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * From the description: "Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points." What would a non-expert find wanting? what relevant points are missed?  Is it not a fairly complete treatment of the subject?
 * Thank you for your opinion. If you could do a better job on Arcadelt, have at it.  I spent a lot of time putting this together from many sources.  If you would like to "upgrade" it to what you think is "A" class, nothing is stopping you.  Oh, and let me add, how would you feel if some drive-by opininator showed up at an article you'd written and said about it, "has to be some joke"?  I'd say more but I try to comply with our civility policy.  Have a nice day, Antandrus  (talk) 05:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC)


 * You missed my point entirely. By your logic, readers (who provide feedback at the bottom of this page) should not be allowed to express dissatisfaction with it, but rather should work on it if they find it lacking.
 * As for "[H]ow would you feel if some drive-by opininator showed up at an article you'd written and said about it, 'has to be some joke'?", that's a straw-man fallacy; I was speaking of the article's quality assessment, not its content. --Toccata quarta (talk) 05:34, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Reassessing: retains A class. I know quite a bit about Renaissance music but I'm not an Arcadelt expert and I didn't see anything I could easily add or want to change about the subject. I think the big problem is that the project gives too few A classes, not too many. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Latin Motet by Arcadelt
There is an Ave Maria by Arcadelt in the book LITURGICAL MOTETS, 48 Compositions for Four Part Men's Voices; published by McLaughlin & Reilly Co. of Boston, Massachusetts. Copyright MCMXLVII. Musicwriter (talk) 01:30, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Franco-Flemish
If Arcadelt was indeed from Liège or Namur, he would have been a Franco-Wallonian rather than a Franco-Flemish composer, as they speak and spoke French in those regions, not Flemish (= Dutch). Is there evidence that suggests he was Flemish in spite of growing up in Wallonia? On what grounds were Liège and Namur suggested? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.54.51.131 (talk) 17:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
