my story today:
Adalbert Kraus
(born 27 April 1937)
portrayed Tom in Henze's
Elegy for Young Lovers
at the
Staatsoper Hannover
and the tenor part of
Peter the Apostle
in Bach's
Easter Oratorio.
(from User:Gerda Arendt/Stories)

I made two cards for the transition from 2023 to 2024:
Bach composed
Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht,
BWV 134a,
as a
congratulatory cantata
for the
court of Köthen,
first performed
on New Year's Day 1719.
A German theologian wrote
"
Vertraut den neuen Wegen"
(Trust the new ways)
to the melody of
Lob Gott getrost mit Singen
(Praise God confidently with singing)
to be sung at a wedding in
Eisenach
shortly before the
fall of the Wall.
A little child, a little lamb, on a backdrop of war and death: hoping for more peace in 2024! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:38, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
These were my "stories" on 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2023. If you want to follow a daily sentence throughout the year, use {{ User Gerda Arendt/Top}}, and for the calendar pictures and the music of the year, see User:Gerda Arendt/Images 2024. Let's stay inspired and connected. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
2024 is the anniversary of the Achtliederbuch, the first Lutheran hymnal of 500 years ago, and - possibly related - Bach's cycle of Chorale cantatas 300 years ago. His works and the chorales on which they are based will be a focus for 2024. Ongoing are locations that played a role in my life, recent deaths, music heard and sung, composers, gardens. Watch my user page for articles, done in collaboration. Compare 2023 for the amazing number of users who began and expanded articles. Thanks also to reviewers, and I do plan to review more and write less, and in writing, focus more on quality than the little daily article.
2024 talk begins at #Have a happy New Year, Gerda!, 2024 calender pics and musical events begin here, and the 2024 diary of my own pictures of places, songs, food, flowers ... will come here, - just watch those lists if you are interested.
My talk goes like this: on top there's the "story" related to the day. Below are three boxes, often one for people remembered and two for musical experiences, performing or listening. In these boxes, topics related to the top story and topics featured on the Main page appear bold. Right here you see the image of the month with songs of the month, typically related to meetings with friends who gave them to me. I archive from time. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC) - updated order -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:57, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Belated Christmas greetings and happy new year. I have not sent my usual greetings this season. Coordinator work, preparing a talk for January 2 and real life have me quite busy. I just took better notice of User:Gerda Arendt/Stories. As always, this is another great contribution to the project by you. Donner60 ( talk) 22:29, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Dear Gerda, I apologize for not replying to your thoughtful messages. December is usually a busy month for me; this one has been even more so, much of it because of my own doing! But I wanted to let you know that I did read them and that it means very much to me that you took the trouble to think of me, despite my occasional irascibility. (Within me the patrimony of my hot-blooded Italian forebears are ever in conflict with the expressive austerity of my Basque ancestors!) Thank you for everything that you do on here. My sincerest wishes to you for good health and much joy in 2024! :) — CurryTime7-24 ( talk) 21:43, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Gerda Arendt, Best wishes that the new year brings peace, prosperity, health and happiness. |
Netherzone, thank you for a lovely start in the new year, - see my "response" (written before I went to bed).
Happy New Year! | |
Happy New Year from Martha and I! Appalachian Spring was one of many articles you helped me with this year, and I am beyond grateful for the support and time you've given me in my first full year as an editor. Here's to a new year of composers, compositions, and singers! MyCatIsAChonk ( talk) ( not me) ( also not me) ( still no) 00:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC) |

Hi Gerda, Just to wish you a Happy New Year and to say that I'm retiring from Wikipedia after a good innings. Thank you for your encouragement and cheerfulness!

I bestow this award to you, Gerda, for being an untiring teacher. Along with creating so many new music articles that the world can enjoy, you also share with me (and others) interesting anecdotes about the music and your life.

For all the wonderful things you do for the encyclopedia, especially for spreading friendship, and for bringing music to the main page with your DYK work there. Thank you for being you! Netherzone ( talk) 01:00, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
Hello Gerda. I would just want you to know that I am very sorry for the ANI discussion I started earlier. I had been having some real-life stress lately and it felt like it may have affected my feelings on-wiki. I'm very sorry for the attitude I have shown you over the past few weeks. I very much appreciate your efforts on Wikipedia and your dedication to the project even if we disagree on many things, and I just want to let you know that despite everything that has happened you are still an editor I admire and respect. You are a net positive to DYK and while we may disagree on views, what we can agree on is that your articles are very informative and a net good to the project. Again, I am sorry for what I have done. Rest assured that regardless of our differences I support your efforts on Wikipedia to improve our coverage on classical music and Germany.

The medal for bringing joy to Wikipedia | |
The ANI thread was closed by the OP before there could be a formal close by a third party. Reviewing it post-close, I see a strong consensus that you should be awarded a medal for the joy that you bring to Wikipedia. So, here it is - enjoy! And thanks from me personally for all of our past interactions, and all the work you do here. Girth Summit (blether) 19:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC) |
Hi, Gerda, I hope you will forgive me for overstepping my bounds. They are both positive to infinity & beyond. I look forward to seeing your postings online in the future. You do some amazing things around here :) cheers to the 11th & to 2024! Ktochle ( talk) 20:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

On 12 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kihwan Sim, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kihwan Sim, a bass-baritone performer at the Oper Frankfurt, learned to play the tuba during his two years of military service?

Aoidh ( talk) 00:02, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for support, barnstars and recognition. I had a great day with friends and family, and am too tired for individual comments. What brought us here was my DYK nomination for a singer who fascinated me, Template:Did you know nominations/Kihwan Sim, followed by questioning the sourcing for part of the hook together with the suggestion of a completely different hook, WT:DYK#Kihwan Sim. I was away, and didn't see that this new hook, although I objected and explained that I was away, was put in prep. I still object, a) because it says something trivial about him instead of celebrating his achievements, b) because I hate to be held responsible for putting "military" on the Main page. It reached the Main page now. Help?? - I will have no time for Wikipedia today, as yesterday. - For those who believe that our readers are not interested in opera: in the last case of an opera singer, Ryland Davies, more people viewed the opera than the singer. Let's not underestimate our readers, and not censor what we offer them. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 00:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Still little time: I told the story today that I wanted to tell, and the Main page still has the story I think tells too little. Thank you for all support, but the most wanted support would be to change that. The approved version is in the nomination, also a modified hook that was taken to prep. Everybody: don't miss to look and listen, Sim and Guggeis in interview, and the French revolution hints ;) - "Se vuol ballare" -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Incredibly upset at the recent ANI, both that it existed and that I missed the opportunity to comment in it. However, there's no time limit on giving a barnstar, so better late than never: Gerda, you deserve more barnstars than the WP community could ever pour on you, for both your tireless contributions to the Main Page and article space, but also for indefatigable ability to spread good cheer behind the scenes.

Every time I visit your pages I end up having to learn about a lovely new cantata! Thank you so much for all your work. It's BWV 22 right now – what a gorgeous thing, despite the tragic lack of trumpets.
I have a personally busy time coming up with Bach and some other guy called Handel and some other other guy called Telemann. Should be fun.

Dear Gerda, thanks for your greeting, which I warmly reciprocate. I have stepped back from wp for the past few months, partly because of pressures at home (caring for supercentenarian mother). But you rightly diagnose the local cause of inactivity and I will strive to take your precious advice to heart. Thanks for noticing, and very best wishes for 2024. So sorry about Seiji Ozawa.

... that on Good Friday 2020,
Benedikt Kristjánsson
sang all roles in a chamber arrangement of
Bach's
St John Passion,
composed for Good Friday 1724,
broadcast live from
the composer's burial place.
I remember listening to the performance live, early in the lockdown, the festival cancelled when it had be scheduled to be performed ... He has it in #2 in his media, preceded by Tristis est anima mea. - He will sing Bach with us in May, Ascension Oratorio. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I listen now on radio to the St John Passion from the Berliner Philharmonie, with the RIAS Kammerchor, Evangelist beginning, - teaser, broadcast. - I uploaded the images from 17 March, beginning with a "bloody" morning sky and ending with a procession of a figure of Jesus carrying the Cross, with a wind band and drums. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
For Easter 1724,
his first as
Thomaskantor in Leipzig,
Johann Sebastian Bach revived
Christ lag in Todes Banden,
(Christ lay in death's bonds)
BWV 4,
a
chorale cantata
he had composed in his twenties,
using in all seven movements
the words and tune
of Luther's 1524
Easter chorale.
Remembering Easter 300 years ago continues: Bach revived for for his first Easter as Thomaskantor in Leipzig a masterpiece from his early career, his first chorale cantata, and how different from those to come a few weeks after this. - Per chance, I received the YouTube link today from the conductor who just uploaded it to mark the occasion. I sang with the Idsteiner Solisten several times but not in that performance. You can follow the music! - I also uploaded more images, from a tropical garden and a famous nearby church.

The opening chorus of
Bach's cantata
for the
Second Day of Easter,
Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen, BWV 66,
first performed in 1724
has been termed
"one of the longest and
most exhilarating of Bach's early works".

I noticed that you recently marked my old account as retired. This is my new account. My old userpage now redirects to my new one. I decided that it would be best for me to ultimately remain part of this website. Thank you for all of the good work you do here. Scorpions1325 ( talk) 00:25, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
You added some kind of award on to my talk page. Would you explain what the award is and why I would wish to continue to have it on my talk page? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. ( talk) 15:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
While we're here, might as well. I believe the normal advice is to report to higher powers ASAP, but I'll give you a chance.
Do you have an external relationship with the composer Graham Waterhouse? If you do, please follow the steps outlined at WP:DISCLOSE for all related pages you have previously created or edited. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 11:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

This was the music and memory section on 9 April: arms raised, while Marian Anderson's concert was remembered and Hildegard of Bingen's Physica reflected, - joy to the world! We see the "rock abbot" with his band, a church designed by some of the handicapped using it, and the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine led by the inspiring Oksana Lyniv. Don't miss the Halleluja video ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I had to look it up, though (while I had met Dobostorte in Budapest). Listening to Marian Anderson's "Tremble" yesterday was a revelation I wanted to share. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear Gerda, Thankyou for your several kind and cheerful messages over the past couple of months. In case you are wondering, I have not slipped off this mortal coil, at least not yet, but have for various reasons given myself a rest from wp. For one thing I am terribly busy with my supercentenarian Mum whose daily needs for attention are many - for another, I have a progressing series of ailments of my own, including Parkinson's, which keep me feeling fairly grotty - but, most influentially, since my last editing efforts, I have a sense of complete futility at editing here when confronted with the sort of criticisms and condescension which provoked my last long reply on my talk page. I haven't got the stomach to rise to the bait. However I am still here and still watching. Eebahgum ( talk) 08:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
This is indeed not a template, but yes I did email you using old-technology electronic email, like in the good old days! Cheers DBaK ( talk) 20:51, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for spreading Wiki love. Although I don't like listening to music for personal reasons, I will definitely appreciate your intentions of spreading positive vibes on Wikipedia. Regards Maliner ( talk) 21:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC) |
Gerda Arendt, I am always pleased to find these reminders on other editors' talk pages, and now on mine. Thank you for the anniversary. - SusanLesch ( talk) 13:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
