General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for a decent article about a sad subject. It was, indeed, a fine piece of music in that context.

Earwig finds lots of similarities, but they are all titles and quotes. So no copyvio.

For "a cappella", citation no. 4 says "sung unaccompanied", which is acceptable.

I wish to emphasize on this occasion, that a quirky hook would be really wrong for this article which deals with music for an event which has saddened a lot of people. So I think the abovementioned hooks are fine, dealing as they do, with the simple main facts of the musical composition and its composer.

Let's go with that one, then it's less urgent to deal with a hook for the "first female". My mind is on other things, a month later, and while the detail is interesting, it has not much to do with the composition. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
