Is "Ergieße dich reichlich, du göttliche Quelle" similar to a pop song?

I've just listened to "Ergieße dich reichlich, du göttliche Quelle" and I can't help thinking that I've heard a pop song or TV theme tune very similar. I know this isn't very on topic, trivia at most, but does anyone think the same? ML5 (talk) 13:10, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Everything looks good. Some minor tweaks to copy and a link issue to Bach Digital. Ping me when addressed. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 22:30, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

An unknown poet retained the first and last stanzas as the respective choral cantata movements, and paraphrased the other stanzas rather freely Remove the comma (WP:CINS)
done --GA
Link chorale fantasia
done --GA
the bass voice is accompanied by the full orchestra with the trumpet as a "ferociously demanding obbligato" Attribute quote (is this Gardiner?).
done, yes, Gardiner, who has the most colourful descriptions ;) --GA
In the Neue Bach-Ausgabe it was published in 1990, edited by Matthias Wendt. The way this is structured indicates almost that Wendt edited "it" (the work) for publication. Perhaps try In the Neue Bach-Ausgabe, edited by Matthias Wendt, it was published in 1990.
Wendt edited "it", the work (while the NBA was the work of many). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:24, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing and spot checks

Reviewed: 2, 5, 7

The link to Bach Digital links to BWV 7, not BWV 5. There were no issues to the BWV 5 page.
done, o dear, for how long was that wrong, and nobody noticed? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To be sure, is the mention in 7 going to the verse 1 image with the staff showing the first few lines?
not sure I understand what 7, - ref 7? That says many things about the tune and variants, and you can find those relevant by searching for BWV 5. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Images

The images are PD manuscripts. Encouragement (not needed for GA): Consider adding alt text.

I may add ALT text when less tired, Sammi Brie. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:37, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
