... that the three movements of John Rutter's Gloria were described as "exalted, devotional and jubilant"?Source: described by the composer, but critics agree
- ALT1:
- Reviewed: 1973 Belmont Stakes
5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 20:35, 16 October 2017 (UTC).
This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Turning to the hook, how do we know it was Rutter's first commission from the United States? I see the article states "his first premiere in the United States", but that is not quite the same thing. If you preferred the other hook, it would be better expressed as ALT1a because he used the phrase himself. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:54, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- ALT1a:... that John Rutter described the three movements of his Gloria as "exalted, devotional and jubilant"?
- Well, that is saying rather little. He also said "represented a milestone in my career because it was the first major commission I had received from overseas."
- ALT2: ... that Gloria was John Rutter's first major commission from the United States, setting the sacred text as a concert piece in three movements for choir, brass, percussion and organ?
- ALT3: ... that on a commission from the United States, John Rutter composed Gloria as a concert piece in three movements for choir, brass, percussion and organ? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:37, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
- It is difficult finding an acceptable hook. I would approve ALT1a, but this is rejected by Gerda despite being a revision of her own ALT1. ALT2 has the same problem as ALT0 and ALT3 is rather weak. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:04, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
