Pange lingua, WAB 33

 * ... that when Franz Xaver Witt issued Brucker's motet Pange lingua in his journal, he removed "some of the work's more daring harmonies" without the composer's consent?

 * Comment Hook is interesting, cited in the article and neutral (AgF for the reference), but presumes the reader knows what a motet is. Also, the name of Witt will not ring a bell with the general audience. Perhaps: "... that when Brucker's choral piece Pange lingua was published in Musica sacra, the journal's editor changed the piece without the composer's consent?"

 * Fine, the broader audience of the Main page probably doesn't care that motet is more precise than chorale piece. Would have liked the "daring harmonies", though. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * How about 'the journal's editor removed some "daring harmonies"'? Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 23:12, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that when Brucker's Pange lingua was published in Musica sacra, the journal's editor removed "some of the work's more daring harmonies" without the composer's consent? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:46, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article length is good, the copyvio check came back with no suspicious results and the hook is cited in the article to an online source. Personally, I prefer the original hook over ALT1, but I would wikilink both 'Franz Xavier Witt and 'motet'.-RHM22 (talk) 04:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
