Talk:Requiem (Mozart)/Recordare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Delete?

What is this article about at all? Liturgically it makes no sense, since the Recordare is only a section arbitrarily taken from the Dies Irae sequence of the Requiem. Musically it makes no sense either, because composers of the requiem may chose to subdivide the sequence at different points. At its current state, the article deals with the Recordare from the Mozart requiem exclusively, so it should rather be named Recordare (Mozart Requiem) - but I think the best thing to do would be to move its contents to Requiem (Mozart). The same holds for the Tuba mirum article btw. --FordPrefect42 16:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree and I have marked it up accordingly. --Kleinzach 10:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok I see where you guys are coming from - forgive me I am new to editing. Would you suggest that the breakdown of the movements from the Mozart requiem be expanded on the main page of the requiem, including some of the information listed on this page and that of Tuba mirum?

Yes I think so but the texts really belong in WikiSource rather than here. Thanks. --Kleinzach 13:23, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I also agree, except for the texts: as mentioned above, Tuba mirum and Recordare are both sections of the Dies Irae, and its text is already completely cited on wikisource: [1]. No need to double these texts. --FordPrefect42 13:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

OK I'll remove the WikiSource tag .--Kleinzach 13:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm new to wiki, so could you guys please explain what wikisource is?58.105.177.46 12:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)Waffenkartoffel

A project similar to wikipedia as it uses the same wiki technique, but contains free source texts only, cf. wikisource. Here is the link: http://en.wikisource.org --FordPrefect42 14:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
