Jauchzet, frohlocket! BWV 248 I

 * ... that Jauchzet, frohlocket! (Shout for joy, exult!) is the beginning of Part I of Bach's Christmas Oratorio (autograph pictured), first performed twice on Christmas Day in 1734? Source: several
 * ALT1:... that the choir sings Jauchzet, frohlocket! (Shout for joy, exult!), the beginning of Part I of Bach's Christmas Oratorio (autograph pictured), first imitating kettledrums, due to its secular model? Source: several

 * Comment: This is supposed to be my Christmas gift. 25 December. I'd love to see the image on the main page as iconic. You don't see every note, but still an outburst of energy and joy ;) - I'll expand the article by adding to individual movements, hopefully later today.

 * Symbol question.svg - well written article, long enough and new enough. The hook is short and interesting. QPQ joke was funny, I assume it was Template:Did you know nominations/Known unto God. Image appropriately licensed. However, the hook facts do not seem to appear in the article; there is no mention of "kettledrums" or the song being performed twice on Christmas 1734.

 * Thank you for the review! Yes, as I said, I will expand, - I hoped to have done that, yesterday, then someone died, and today, and someone died, and I'll need to expand another one before this. - Patience please. I thought kettledrum was a better word for the general public than timpani. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
 * L293D, I expanded the movements, please look again. Movement 1 is where the timpani = kettledrums enter alone. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:24, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg - looks good now. L293D (☎ • ✎) 21:27, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but one paragraph lacks a cite, per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 19:42, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I am debating whether to put this in the image slot. At thumbnail size, to a non-music aficionado, it looks like smudges in the music. It would be great if you could write a hook that points out the joyousness or noise of the music (and source it, of course). Yoninah (talk) 19:44, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Repeating: it's Bach's own handwriting of a piece which is in German-speaking countries what Messiah is in English: the piece without which there can't be Christmas. If the translation doesn't transport joy and exultation, I don't know what to do. I'm going to nominate the article for GA.
