 * As this will not work as hoped:
 * ALT1: ... that the musicologist Willi Gundlach, who founded the chamber choir of the Dortmund University, trained volunteers to sing a Bach cantata in one day, including Part III of Bach's Christmas Oratorio?
 * Could be for Christmas that way. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:22, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As all sources are in German or offline, unable to check for close paraphrasing. Is the reference for the hook fact about the one-day practice in footnote 11, the same as in the rest of the paragraph? QPQ in progress. Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking, and yes, duplicated. The booklet made for the 100th concert has a detailed article by someone who was sceptic but came, with details about the rehearsal style ("The ladies in the soprano are singing in polyphony ...", always gentle but aimed at quality, - I was there) and left enthusiastic. As I am traveling and didn't take the booklet along, I added two online souces. One says that the church was usually "proppenvoll" for the event, which I don't know how to translate. More than full. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you. Both hook refs offline, AGF, and cited inline. ALT1 good to go for Christmas. Yoninah (talk) 14:28, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The hook for Wie soll ich dich empfangen in Prep 3 (for December 24) also mentions Bach's Christmas oratorio. Would you like to mention a Christmas cantata by a different composer? Yoninah (talk) 22:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No, because - as you can see - Bach was what he loved most, and he did Part I to crown his career. (I just came from a FAC review where "crowning achievement" was mentioned several times.) The only Christmas cantata would be Saint-Saëns, but that was like a side trip for him ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:44, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that the musicologist Willi Gundlach, who founded the chamber choir of the Dortmund University, trained volunteers to sing a Bach cantata in one day, including Part I of Bach's Christmas Oratorio? - perhaps better part I on Christmas Day, Jauchzet, frohlocket, rejoice! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg OK. Offline ALT2 hook ref AGF and cited inline. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:12, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
