Seasons


Seasons are in lower case (her last summer; the winter solstice; spring fever), except in personifications or in proper names for periods or events (Old Man Winter; the team had great success on the Spring Circuit). Avoid references to seasons that are ambiguous due to differences in seasons between hemispheres.

Thank you for your help with my story today, about this composer and his ballerina wife, pictured as I saw them in 2009. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with another giant's music: Canto General. Listen if you like it really big and emotional, with the composer as the conductor, in Chile, after years of suppression. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:05, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A soprano pictured on DYK, a soprano and a composer and a bassoonist on RD, and a composer with the pic of the day: a good day for classical music! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I enjoy a DYK that pictures a person together with achievements in art. - Could you perhaps help sourcing the books by Ruth Weiss? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:32, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As you will know, Arvo Pärt is 90 today. Did you know that it tool me some trouble to get him to the main page? Listen! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:48, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today is the birthday of the 16th Thomaskantor after Bach, remembered. - Great that you made it to our concert! Next singing as you will have read: 16 November Evensong. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:53, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My 100th biography to the Main page in 2025 is Siegmund Nimsgern. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Rutter 80 today! I sang his major choral works with four choirs, and many of his uplifting anthems, 13 DYK? I watched him explain his Magnificat in person in 1998, and now see it on Youtube: he wore the same outfit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My story today is about the principal violin of the Concentus Musicus; she would have been 95 OTD. I felt connected when the second oboist of our recent concert said that he built an English horn for his performance of the same work with the Concentus Musicus. - Concert weekend pictured in "places". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:20, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for help and support ITNN. - My story today is about a woman and her husband who played Bach's Sonatina for us (Rheingau Musik Festival, long ago) on an upright piano, and it made me cry, and I still remember. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:59, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Nielsen (FA by four colleagues, not me) is remembered on the main page! My story on the Germany National holiday is a song calling to trust the new ways, written shortly before the events leading to reunification. I saw a lovely Mozart opera production yesterday, in case of interest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would you have time to reference the works of Claus Offe? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:42, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A good story for a Sunday: Martin Neary conducting Purcell. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:17, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and a good one for Monday, about a mezzo as a thinking person, DYK? - see also video. (The nomination wasn't by me, which probably helped.) I didn't see her, but the Carmen production at the Bastille Opéra that she was in last. - Offe: I added FAZ to the refs but will not have time today. The lead should be longer ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:30, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy birthday, Margaret Medlyn! (I found the article - not by me - when searching for someone whose birthday is today.) - I took a cat pic, presented by Rosiestep today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy 50th birthday, Alain Altinoglu!) - I let the video begin with a closeup of the octobass ;) Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am proud to have brought two performing women to the main page. Sadly, death kept both from performing more, one sooner, the other much later. If you have little time just listen to the one who died young and see if it touches you (in today's story, - I don't want to sprinkle youtube links outside my user pages). - Latest pics from a day to the opera in Frankfurt, and afterwards (because train service is only once an hour) a lovely stroll along the Main river with illumination and the moon reflected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am sad that I had to bring two more people there. At least the video in my story is cute, made for children. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:46, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What would you guess: how many composers are mentioned in the article of Bernhard Klee, to whose conducting of Das Lied von der Erde you can listen? And what to say for a DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can I interest you in the Double Concerto by Brahms, a piece I heard twice this year - see music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:38, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice music. Grimes2 19:18, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for listening! And for the improvements to Berio!! - Roberta Alexander, - listen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:43, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Today Sequenza III on Luciano Berio's centenary. You can listen with the score or to the first performer, Cathy Berberian (link in the work's article), - I couldn't decide ;) - Thank you for adding references! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:40, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
300 years ago: Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79, on the occasion for which it was written, Reformation Day - it's not only Halloween today. You are invited to the peer reviews for another candidate. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I remember this singer who impressed me on stage. - You are invited to a peer review after FAC, - in a poll, you could simply mark yes or no for the four open questions. It's an experiment. The piece has its 300th anniversary on Christmas Day, and should be as good as possible by then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:26, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have three biographies on the main page today, miss a fourth one, nominated a fifth, that means little time for other matters. My places now include La Scala, - see music, Verdi three times, and twice in my story! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:41, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
