Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (Böhm)
- ... that in Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, a cantata in eleven movements for Advent, Georg Böhm set all eight stanzas of Luther's hymn, and all differently? Source: several
- Reviewed: Marmaduke Dixon (settler)
- Comment: Please no later than 23 December. - The article should probably explain that hymnals have only five stanzas of something Luther created as a translation from an ancient Latin hymn that his contemporaries already found old-fashioned, but it's certainly too much for DYK ;) - Other things worth knowing: the cantata is one of 12 extant by this composer, wasn't printed until 1952, and not recorded until 2008, and performed in 2020, and is lovely, I was there, picture on my talk.

- Article is new enough (created 29 November) and long enough (1600 characters of prose).
- Article is written in NPOV and contains adequate inline citations.
- One question to this end: Is there a source for the fact that the work was published in 1952? I couldn't find that information in the first citation that followed that statement.
- Earwig does not indicate any copyvios.
- Hook is neutral, is fewer than 200 characters, is formatted correctly, and sounds interesting to a broad audience.
- Comment: there's a lot going on in this hook; perhaps it could be made shorter, for example as:
- ALT1: ... that in Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, a cantata in eleven movements, Georg Böhm set all eight stanzas of Luther's hymn, and all differently?
- ALT2: ... that in his cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, Georg Böhm set all eight stanzas of Luther's hymn, and all differently?
- QPQ is done.
Article is almost good to go; waiting on answers to the above questions. Armadillopteryx 23:49, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for looking! Good question, the publication. What I found is that they (probably) began the complete works then, but this specific one was published in 1963. Thank you for the ALTs, but I am not happy. We feed readers a lot of German, and I think they need an explanation. "Advent" is minimum to understanding I think. If you think it would be understood without a link then it could precede "cantata" in the ALTs. ALT2 misses the quirkiness of that he set eight stanzas in eleven movements. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
