==Same thing as months ago== |

Well, I said it was good to be back, and I appreciated the kind words from you and other editors. But now the same editor who drove me away before with his repeated "fuck offs" and the admin who says it's OK to tell other editors to fuck off are it again. I was minding my own business, not even thinking about that foulmouthed person, and just trying to put it behind me. But within ''days'' of my return he's on my talk page, poking me a stick. And the admin is saying, literally, that if I don't like being told "fuck off" that all my past good work means nothing and that I should leave Wikipedia. |
|||
I don't know what my future is here. I've started an ANI [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Days_after_my_return_to_Wikipedia_after_months_away.2C_cursing_editor_returns_to_bait_me here], and hopefully something will come of that. I just wanted to let some of the good and responsible editors here know, and that if they're interested in following what's going on, that's the link. I am disheartened as hell. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 10:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC) |
Revision as of 10:04, 5 November 2014
Did you know ...
- ... that the hymn "Jesu, meine Freude" (Jesus, my joy) by Johann Franck and Johann Crüger mentions singing in defiance of the "old dragon", death, and fear?
- ... that in the motet Locus iste, composed for the dedication of the votive chapel of Linz Cathedral, Anton Bruckner requests a pause "by carefully measuring out five beats"?
- ... that Geistliche Chormusik, a collection of 29 motets by Heinrich Schütz containing a "plea for peace", appeared in 1648, when the Thirty Years' War ended?
Hope is precious and great joy is found in living
Thank you for the sapphire—cornflower blue is a color of some significance to me. In the maelstrom that Wikipedia can sometimes be, remember these words from Ode to Joy:
Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!

- My plans are secret ;) (I can give an infobx only to articles I create - and by create they don't mean a creative process but turning a red link to blue, - if I create a decent article from a one-line stub, that's not create, - therefore I avoid red links). I work on Locus iste. Want to find out if the chapel pictured is the chapel for which it was composed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:13, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Be careful with too much secrete solemnity - our common liking O.J. Bierbaum on Stefan George: „Feierlich sein ist alles! Sei dumm wie ein Thunfisch, temperamentlos wie eine Qualle, stier besessen wie ein narkotisierter Frosch, aber sei feierlich, und du wirst plötzlich Leute um dich sehen, die vor Bewunderung nicht mehr mäh sagen können.“ ;) Serten (talk) 15:05, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Gerda, I wouldn't mind having the same kind of infobox like THIS ONE, - same coliur, same size on painting and all of it. But it is in Russian... don't know how to make it English.

- You don't decide on the style of an infobox, the template does it. For {{infobox church}} (St. Martin, Idstein) and {{infobox musical artist}}, they work with colours. I like it plain, so go always with {{infobox person}} (Gabriela Eibenová) and often with {{infobox building}} instead. Yours would be {{infobox artwork}}, I think. For some, you can adjust image size. If you don't like a template, go to the template talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Dresdner Amen or Gral Motiv?
Dear Gerda,
The Grail motif of Parsifal is ending with a Dresdner Amen. I had already cited the two occurrences of the Dresdner Amen in the motet, but not that it was a consequence of the attendance to Wagner's Parsifal. Bruckner used the Dresdner Amen also in two subsequent motets (Virga Jesse and Vexilla regis) and the adagio of the ninth symphony.
Thank you again for your appreciated help! --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 17:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- I confess that I didn't know that it is not "or" but connected. Perhaps clarify in the article. I found the Bruckner site when I looked for refs for the dates and thought that it supports some facts nicely. I bet that the book is more profound but the other more accessible to online readers. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:04, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- van Zwol writes on p. 707: "Opvallend is de bij Bruckner vaker aan te treffen en hier tweemaal voorkomende 'theologische bekrachtiging', in de maten 23-24 (...) en 37-38 (...), afkomstig uit het Dresdner Amen en ook bekend van Wagners 'Grals-Sextet' in diens Parsifal." van Zwol's book is indeed more profound, but less accessible (only for people, who have it and can read Dutch). I will tomorrow put some nuance to the sentence, i.e., as van Zwol writes that both, Bruckner's Christus factus est and Parsifal's Grail-motif, are using the same Dresdner Amen, without mention of a (not proven) cause and effect relationship between these two events. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 22:11, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the new one! Where does the translation come from? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- The translation of the German text is from my own...
- PS: I am intended, when I will find time for it, to complete the other pages drafted by Nikki, and to write pages on all remaining Bruckner's motets, and perhaps later on Bruckner's organ and piano works. As I previously wrote, the history of all those Bruckner's works is described by van Zwol and I have at least one recording of all these works too. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 22:11, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
In jener letzten der Nächte,
Da ich am Ölberg gebetet,
War ich von Blutschweiß geröthet,
Goß ihn in Strömen für dich:
Weh! Und wer weiß, ob wohl je
Du auch nur denkest an mich!In that last of nights,
When I prayed at the Mount of Olives,
I was reddened from blood sweat,
Poured it streaming for you.
Woe! And who knows if ever
you even think of me!
- I know a poet whom I will ask. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:25, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! I have replaced my translation by yours.
- NB: As for other German texts used by Bruckner I have copied the original text, i.e., with the old spelling (geröthed).--Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 10:38, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- FYI: Stenov and Frieberger are both performing 3 strophes of the motet. --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 20:02, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Warning against what I see as battleground behaviour
Just a friendly reminder about Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes#Gerda Arendt admonished: "Gerda Arendt is admonished for treating Wikipedia as if it were a battleground..." in connection with what happens at Talk:Mass for the Dresden court (Bach)#Name, where I identified why the discussion is so futile, and imho doesn't pass the WP:DUCK test on battleground behaviour. Please desist if you haven't really anything to say regarding the current article title, but only want to continue discussing other possible article titles that have no decisive advantages. If you can't agree on the matter with those currently commenting there, set up a WP:RM as I already recommended. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:47, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- I have to say (and said) against the title that Mass suggest (to me, it may be my language limit) a complete mass, while Bach's Missa contains Kyrie and Gloria. I made my last entry there. I look at this, from [1]:
- I. Missa (Kyrie & Gloria)
- II. Symbolum Nicenum (Credo)
- III. Sanctus
- IV. Osanna, Benedictus, Agnus Dei et Dona nobis pacem
- see http://www.bach-digital.de/receive/BachDigitalSource_source_00001048 - Titelblatt Teil 1 means title page of part 1, same 2,3,4
- Interesting what you consider a battle. I thought we were looking for the best possible title. Forgive me please that I still tried to improve after you found one. You moved without ado, made the former a confusing dab page instead of a redirect, and now come here. I thought we were looking for the best possible title. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:18, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
