Qui Paracletus diceris (Michael Praetorius)

Very nice work! I added Praetorius to the text-page Veni Creator Spiritus, but realized I dont know anything about text variants. Would you have a go at explaining MP's version? Richard Mix 07:19, 28 January 2012 (CST)

Thanks! Praetorius made many settings of different verses, for various voice combinations. (If I had regular access to Hymnodia Sionia, I would've transcribed them all; as it is I had to chose just a few that I had time to transcribe...) The way you've listed it on the text page is just how I would've done it, so no worries there. Hopefully someday I'll be able to do the rest. Ross Jallo 19:36, 13 February 2012 (CST)

Marenzio “Quia vidisti” - down a m3?

Hi Ross,

Would you be willing to transpose the Marenzio “Quia vidisti” down a m3?

Thanks for posting the piece, and great work on the edition, too! --Fgasper 03:16, 29 February 2012‎

Will do! I'll try and have it done within the week... Ross Jallo 12:32, 5 March 2012 (CST)

Here it is: [1]. Let me know how it goes if you end up performing it! Ross Jallo 22:36, 10 March 2012 (CST)

Tip on tables

Hi Ross, I noticed you added a table to Gratias agimus tibi and would like to suggest you give template {{top}} a try next time, it may simplify things for you. Best, —Carlos (talk) 23:32, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! Ross Jallo (talk) 16:12, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ross, yet another tip: the template {{ss}} is perfect for what you intended (sorting composer names by surname in a table column). I have applied it to you table for you to see it in action, but if your intention was really to have the surnames coming first, then please feel free to revert my last edit, ok? Regards, —Carlos (talk) 12:30, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that is exactly what I had wanted; thanks! Ross Jallo (talk) 01:44, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Diligam te Domine Hassler

Ross, I've moved the link text for this to Diligam te Domine. There's been a lot of discussion among the administrators as to what one does when a part of a work is used separately from the whole. An example is Tantum ergo, which (as you probably know) is part of the longer Pange lingua. Because many people will want to view settings specifically of Tantum ergo, it seems sensible to have separate text pages, but with clear links between them.

This is even more the case with the psalms. Many verses are used for graduals, offertories and so on and, unless the searcher knows that a text is part of a specific psalm, searching for settings becomes more complicated. A further complication is that the sorting facilities on the site take account of punctuation, so Diligam te, Domine will appear in a different place from Diligam te Domine.

Having said that, I have not yet identified why 6 different composers have set these particular verses! But it still seems sensible to gather them all together on one text page.

I had noticed lots of those text pages being created in the last few months; I think it's a good idea! Thanks for the heads-up. Best, Ross Jallo (talk) 19:22, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Grant us Thy peace (Mendelssohn)

Thanks for inserting the useful link, Ross. I assumed there must have been a German original, (since the translation is not gripping poetry!) but the source book gave no indication of this. It's workmanlike, rather than a great, bit of Mendelssohn, I think, but probably worth making more widely available. Jamesgibb (talk) 16:29, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
