Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen, BWV 56

 * ... that in Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen, BWV 56, called a cantata by Bach himself, life is compared to a sea voyage and death addressed to come?


 * Reviewed: Mabel Potter Daggett
 * Comment: composed for the 19th Sunday after Trinity, 11 October, - I would like to add that it is one of very few works called a cantata by Bach, and the first for a bass soloist, but think it's long already.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, nominated within 10 days of achieving GA status. Is more than long enough.  Written in a neutral, dispassionate manner.  Each paragraph has multiple inline citations.  No close paraphrasing or other copyvio issues detected.  The hook format is within policy, and I find the hook very interesting, but I'm probably not a good representative sample in this instance.  The "called a cantata" and "sea voyage" are directly cited to a reliable, online source.  The "death to come" is cited to an offline, reliable source, so hook accepted AGF.  Hook is neutral.  QPQ complete.  Image is free to use, and displays well at small size.  I would note that it is only marginally tied to the subject, but that should not in any way prevent this hook from running.  This article is ready for and deserves mainspace exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 03:01, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * In German, the cantata is known as the Kreuzstabkantate, see also the discussion on the talk that English readers need to be shown that a cross staff is not a cross staff (part of a navigational instrument). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:13, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
