Ermuntre dich, mein schwacher Geist
- ... that a scene in Bach's Christmas Oratorio uses a stanza from "Ermuntre dich, mein schwacher Geist" to announce to the shepherds that the weak baby will ultimately bring peace? Source: several
- ALT1: ... that "Brich an, du schönes Morgenlicht" (Break, you beautiful morning light) tells the shepherds in Bach's Christmas Oratorio to not be afraid?
- Reviewed: to come
- Comment: best for Christmas, could be 25 December, when the scene happens (in the early morning), or 26 December when the oratorio part was premiered

- No complaints here, Gerda: it's a new article, long enough, sourced appropriately, free from copyright issues, etc. I think I like ALT1 – "to not be afraid" – the best. I agree that this would make a great article for Christmas, so I'll approve it for the 25th (preferably) or the 26th. (By the way, this is such a beautiful hymn. We have the ninth stanza in our American hymnals as "Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light", with Bach's elegant harmonization as the tune. There's a bit of information about it in this book: "the monumental figure Bach and the minor figure Schop are therefore linked together in a peculiar polarity of fame".) Let me know when you've done the QPQ. Best regards, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 19:55, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
