Psalmen Davids

 * ... that composer Heinrich Schütz published Psalmen Davids (cover pictured), including polychoral settings of 20 psalms, on his wedding day?

 * New, long enough, and within policy. Hook format is OK, interesting, and the inline citation (in German) justifies it. I added links to 'polychoral' and to Schütz. Excellent DIFOT by Schütz. Ready to go.Symbol confirmed.svg --Smerus (talk) 12:34, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * thank you for the review, - I delinked, Antiphon seems rather misleading, - Schütz, kept, hesitantly, people should click the other ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:17, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you sure then that 'polychoral' is the right word? Oxford English Dictionary defines polychoral as ' polychoral [...] designating music (chiefly of the Renaissance and Baroque period) in which the vocal ensemble is divided into two or more groups, usually in order to effect antiphonal exchange.' I am just a little concerned that the uninformed reader may not know what polychoral means. Best, --Smerus (talk) 13:40, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I hope the uninformed reader will try to find out: read in the article that it means several choirs - which the word suggests. The term is from one of the sources, - do you know a more common English phrase for "mehrchörig"? The hook is to hook to the article, not have the poor reader find out what antiphon may have to do with polychoral. The German Wikipedia allows only one link for a hook, for a good reason ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well as long as you are happy. But if the WP reader looks up polychoral s/he will,as you see, end up with 'antiphon'. It seems to me that in English 'polychoral' is not quite the same as "mehrchörig" - but there doesn't seem to be a word 'multichoral'.--Smerus (talk) 14:43, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Open to suggestions, explanations, links in the article, - but not in the hook please, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That's OK, my tick still holds!--Smerus (talk) 16:06, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
