September music
music to explore - the new Casals Forum for chamber music is just wonderful. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 29 September 2022 (UTC)


 * This is great thanks @Gerda Arendt! I either didn't know or had forgotten that we are losing COE! Aaargh and aaargh again. Sounds like yet another Brexit Bonus for my benighted country. (But at least we have blue passports so yay, result!) Cheers DBaK (talk) 08:48, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I didn't add that link, merely relabeled it from official to fan site. Do delete as necessary! 2A00:23C7:AB0:A301:113:A32C:E09C:9FD2 (talk) 17:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Yup, I have indeed deleted it, thanks. You did, as I said, re-add it, though this does not now matter. Feel free to reexamine your diff if you don't see what I mean. But it's all gone now anyway so, fine, and have a lovely day! cheers DBaK (talk) 00:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

October music
Today we sang the choral concert of the year, Verdi's Requiem with an interesting band of marimba, piano, horn, bass, timpani and drum (pictured). - Seeing a pic I took on the Main felt good. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:14, 3 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh lovely more pics!! Thanks @Gerda Arendt and sorry I have not been in touch more ... it's a very struggly time of year! Thanks again DBaK (talk) 20:42, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * never mind, another pictured DYK (but not pictured by me this time): look at power work tensions (if you translate) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * today's DYK: two facts from the two concert of this years Rheingau Musik Festival I liked best, both a cappella singing. If you follow the songs, you see a circus, where I performed singing, and in the end the whole tent joined for Dona nobis pacem. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * who shall separate us? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:40, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ace, thank you @Gerda Arendt! DBaK (talk) 20:28, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * ... followed by the new hall where you helped - I always like to see my pics on the Main page, - then the mezzo of our Verdi concert, finally don't miss Hannah Pick-Goslar, - met a cat today, pictured --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:50, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

November music
celebrating GW60 -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

would you know a source for his mother's birth name, date and location? - Different question: the wrong horn was pictured for BWV 40, - which one would be right? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:30, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

nevermind, son told me - music can now be found together: a Ukrainian chamber choir, my cellist and composer friend's 60th birthday music (with a world premiere and that overview about his career), and Bach's ultimate statement about life and death --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry @Gerda! I have had a bit of a crazy time at work and didn't get focussed on this in time. I am glad you sorted it – I'm afraid I could not have helped with E's DoB ... I could have got it, but not an RS! The horn ... interesting. I'm not going down that rabbit hole about modern terminology but yes, as you say, the photo was wrong. We could look for a replacement but it depends how precise you want to get – will some kind of generic Baroque horn do, or will people nitpick and say no no that one is not plausible for that particular work? I'm worried that my rather limited knowledge would not be up to the latter.
 * I didn't know about the Sextet and would love to hear it. It looks like maybe it is not yet recorded ... or do you know something?
 * Oh and BWV106! Bliss! Do you remember, you identified it for me a few years back from a description of the tweetling recorder bits? So great.
 * Thanks again for all this, cheers, DBaK (talk) 10:09, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I remember now! the recorders were just stunning and in tune! - they used the same combination of recorders and gambas for BWV118 which was convincing. My most recent musical experience was singing with the Renaissance Street Singers in rehearsal something like 10 pieces by as many composers, including 8 whose names I hadn't heard yet, Josquin being the exception, and then 4 encores by more familiar people, - will upload pic. - Graham gave me the data, we'll see if he will be taken a RS ;) She and Lucy were there for the event, but I couldn't get to them, and they didn't stay after the longish concert. It was a pleasure to watch them listening. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:20, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * vacation pics --Gerda Arendt (talk) 03:39, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanksgiving in the U.S. - Bach said it in music for peace --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:42, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
