May music[edit]

On the bicentenary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, I remember our recent uplifting choral concert in pictures, on my user page and in my concerts (leading to the two at the church's article).--Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I love that symphony. Playing it was one of the highlights of my time in my college orchestra. DanCherek (talk) 18:18, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. I sang it (alto) in Idstein once. - Today is the Feast of the Ascension for which Bach composed his oratorio, - perhaps watch a bit how the closing movement was performed in Bach's church. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Magdalena Hinterdobler is on the Main page today, together with an opera that reviewers deemed not interesting and too obscure for our general readers. The soprano thought differently, - listen and see. - Also on the Main page: a TFA by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:14, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I miss him too. He did a lot of great work on that article. DanCherek (talk) 12:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doom (2016 video game) - today's TFA is again by Vami --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

did you listen and see? - today's story has a pic of a woman holding her cat, a DYK of 5 years ago - the recent pics show 2 orange tip butterflies --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yesterday's story remembered an oratorio world premiere I was in, conducted by the composer --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I heard lovely chamber music today, and the DYK mentions "profoundly human" singing (that you can watch), connected to a place where we'll sing in September --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:03, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I liked seeing Erschallet, ihr Lieder on the Main page today, 310 years after the first performance! We sang it in 2000. Today's program was easier but also spirited. I found a nice video of "I will sing with the spirit", with nature photography, - enjoy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:27, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! I've been seeing a lot of these around my area too, I didn't know what they were called. DanCherek (talk) 17:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nor did I until I looked it up ;) - Requiem (Verdi) tomorrow, - short on music and references - can you help? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not right now... possibly in June? DanCherek (talk) 01:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though you are doing an excellent job at it already! DanCherek (talk) 01:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any specific Lilypond-related requests, lmk. DanCherek (talk) 01:20, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the offer, but the coverage of the music is still poor - later perhaps. - Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old OTD. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:22, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you can see and tell me why I don't hear the sample in my story today. I see that the box that normally has the time has only an arrow here, and when I click on it (only) the whole page turns pale. Superficially comparing to examples in BWV 1 (with and without text) didn't give me a clou. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a known bug that occurs when an .ogg sound file is on the same page, mentioned at Help talk:Score § LilyPond player vs .ogg files, also tracked at Phabricator (phab:T363630). DanCherek (talk) 16:24, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll remove the sound file then, and move it to Graupner. It must be something like this, because I tried to copy the same piece from BWV 227 where it worked, and it worked in preview, but not after saving. The second Graupner is terrific! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:28, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help with block evasion[edit]

A vandalism binge by 120.28.65.17 (talk · contribs). Thanks, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:54, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was just about to apply a block but PhilKnight beat me to it! DanCherek (talk) 04:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Terrific. Thanks to you both. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. DanCherek (talk) 14:10, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
