Die Versuchung Jesu

 * ... that the composer of Die Versuchung Jesu, an Evangelienmotette on the temptation of Christ (pictured), has the devil speak, not sing, at times in canon?


 * Reviewed: Doris Sands Johnson
 * Comment: during Lent please, - there will be at least a stub on the composer, translated from German

 * New, long enough, conforms within policy. Clear citations, appear to be free from issues of paraphrasing, copyright, etc.
 * Hook . interesting, cited, ok for length. AGF for accuracy as score, which is cited, is not online. Page one of the score, which is online, shows the Devil speaking, but not in canon. I guess anyone reading the full score would spot that there are speaking passages in canon - but Gerda, unless you can cite a third-party source for the canon stuff, it might I think count as WP:OR. In which case you had better (ALT1 proposal) leave out the bit in the hook about canon, and simply leave it that the Devil speaks rather than sings. Also I would consider using (ALT2 proposal) 'Gospel motet' instead of 'Evagellienmottete' which is tough going for English speakers/readers.
 * Pic seems OK for free use.
 * QPQ verified.
 * Symbol question.svg Needs a brief rethink or additional citation on hook.--Smerus (talk) 17:46, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I entirely agree with Smernus about Gospel motet (Evangelienmotette should be moved to the English term) but don't see the point of seeking a third party confirmation for something as uncontroversial as an obvious canon. Sparafucil (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Well I think it may be obvious to you, me and Gerda, (if we had it in front of us), but if a secondary authority can't be provided, it would still be WP:OR. And the fact that this is a canon needs to be clearly sourced from a secondary authority if the hook depends on it. (As I read the article and notes, the reference is simply to the score, i.e. the primary source, without comment). That's why I think it may be simpler to rephrase the hook. But maybe I am being too pernicketty? - Smerus (talk) 23:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Back. Regarding Evangelienmotette, please compare Classical music/Archive 61: I understand "a translation of the German term rather than a known term in English", concluding that we should not have an article on an English term not a known term in English.
 * Regarding "canon": yes, it's in the score, and impressive to perform as we did last Sunday. I would argue that it can be mentioned the same way as we take a tempo or dynamic marking from a score (or a colour from an image) without needing a different source, - that's not "research". If you can't follow, drop the part in the hook, but I think it's the most interesting part. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:18, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * OK I will agree on the issue of canon given that Sparafucil is also happy: but the score is then 2:1 against 'Evangeliemottete'. I looked at Classical music/Archive 61, but would point out that of the two supporters there, one, (FS), is also not a native Anglophone; and also that Grove does not have an article 'Evangelienmotette' either. Nor do I find any English sources using the term. I really think the term is a 'turn-off' - Can we then go for:


 * ALT2 ... that the composer of Die Versuchung Jesu, a Gospel motet on the temptation of Christ (pictured), has the devil speak, not sing, at times in canon?


 * Smerus (talk) 12:41, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes. (The discussion was no voting - as we can't vote on the existence of terms - but a clarification, that no such term seems to exist in English. As it exists in German, sometimes as a subtitle of compositions, we need to talk about it in English without inventing a term. - I tweaked the hook to avoid a redirect.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:14, 17 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go using ALT2. Before March 24 if possible please as requested by nominator, to come within Lent.Smerus (talk) 15:05, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

The stub article on the composer is now created, and his birthday is 10 March. How about mentioning his name and having it that day? ALT3: ... that Gustav Gunsenheimer, the composer of Die Versuchung Jesu, a Gospel motet on the temptation of Christ (pictured), has the devil speak, not sing, at times in canon? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK for length, though a bit clunky compared with ALT2. I am happy with either.Smerus (talk) 08:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * How is this then, master of the pipe link:
 * ALT4: ... that the composer of Die Versuchung Jesu, a Gospel motet on the temptation of Christ (pictured), has the devil speak, not sing, at times in canon? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:18, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yes, I like ALT4 better, but hey, that's just me!Smerus (talk) 08:22, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * As I also like it best, I struck the others ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
