Split discussion
Because of the ever-increasing number of arrangements and adaptations of the original tune, I'm of the opinion that the texts and translations should not be a part of this page. Instead, they should be on a separate page (as with other Text-translations pages) or moved to the Adeste fideles tune page (I somewhat prefer the latter). On a separate (or tune) page, one would find it easier to link various harmonizations and settings of the tune and text (following the method used for citing settings on Text-translations pages). I have in the meantime linked the Fabrizio Perone setting to this page, which is a somewhat distinct harmonization and probably should not be a part of this page. -- Chucktalk Giffen♫ 05:17, 1 April 2008 (PDT)
- Against a split (though open to other arguments and suggestions) As you know I'm a bit of a "mergist" (is that a new word? go me) when it comes to this situation but I hope to explain my rationale - in my mind, it's all about convenience for the user.
- On several other carol and hymn pages, I have separated "harmonizations" (tune & harmony - strophic) from "arrangements" (often more variation of harmony over different verses - through-composed). I reckon that if we're dealing with a tune which is usually (as in this case) set to a specific set of words or a translation of those words then they should be contained within a single page so that it's easy for users to choose alternative harmonisations/arrangements. If there is a popular pd arrangement which has been contributed in many different editions then in that situation, it may be best to move it to another page. On the other hand, for tunes such as Greensleeves, which have quite a few different texts associated with them, I think it's best for editions of each separate text to be on separate score pages linked to from the tune page (as they are at the moment). For me, Fabrizio Perone's arrangement does not justify a separate score page as 1) it has the same text as all the harmonizations and arrangements on this page and 2) the arrangement isn't significantly different from the others that are on there. I can see where you're coming from, Chuck, Perone's arrangement has quite a different harmonization but I don't think that's enough to separate it from the rest of the settings on this page.
