Talk:O ewiges Feuer, o Ursprung der Liebe, BWV 34a

Application of a uniform template for Bach's Cantatas

edit

I am going through the pages currently existing on Wiki for Bach's cantatas, after editing a Bach Cantata Pilgrimage section, and thought I'd make an effort to standardize their presentation inasmuch as possible.

Consequently, I've created a few sections: a general intro that contains the German title, alongside a literal translation to English, BWV number, and type of cantata (sacred vs. secular).
This section also contains the prescribed readings and the authorship of the texts, when known, as well as the authorship of the chorale theme.
The articles are completed with a scoring and structure section, followed by the complete German text, in three columns, and a list of complete recordings (as I can find online, obviously. I'm sure there are many more recordings).

I plan on applying this template to all articles (existing or to be created) on the cantatas. Any advice/recommendation would be greatly appreciated and surely taken into account. Campelli (talk) 21:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
