A691463 - Handel's 'Messiah': the first 250 years

3:15am. Woke up in a cold sweat. Dreamt that I had mentioned among the best-known numbers from 'Messiah' one called 'For unto us a Son is born' and nobody had noticed the mistake. Dream was true. Remembered I once sang it in German, when it was 'Denn es ist uns ein Kind geboren, es ist uns ein Sohn gegeben'. Marvelled at how that German text fits the tune so closely. Checked the English libretto. Corrected the error. Slept like a baby.

Congratulations!
I rose from my seat when clicking the 'recommend' button and the Editors have sung 'Hallelujah' to it 
Your entry can be found on the <./>ComingUp<./> page now because it is on its way into the Edited Guide! Further steps are that it goes out to a SubEd for some polishing (roughly 4 weeks' time for that) and that the in-house team will do some final polishing (which can last anywhere from days to weeks). Not that it were necessary, but that's just the procedure.
Have some

Cheers (hic!). You can sit down now - it seems to have been subbed already, and very nicely too. Moving on to my next effort.

wow!
Provided that it's not a mistake, that's been a *very* quick sub!
