Werde munter, mein Gemüte

 * ... that Bach set a stanza from the evening hymn "Werde munter, mein Gemüte" (Become cheerful, my mind), which Johann Rist and Johann Schop created in collaboration, in his St Matthew Passion (Incipit pictured)?
 * Reviewed: Birdy (film)
 * Comment: Suitable for Maundy Thursday, 13 April, because it closes Peter's denial which happened that night, or for Good Friday, 14 April. We may have to drop the translation as too long, but it is nicely quirky. I know that you don't see much on the image, but people reading music may recognize the famous melody of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Short, but a nice article. I can't see anything wrong with it. Length and recency are both fine, sourcing is good and the hook is interesting and reliably sourced. The idea of running it on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday is a good one and I'd support doing that. Prioryman (talk) 15:28, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
