FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Beginning of the first movement

Jesu, meine Freude (Jesus, my joy), BWV 227, is a motet by J. S. Bach. In eleven
movements for up to five voices, it is his longest and most musically complex
motet. It is named after the 1653 Lutheran hymn "Jesu, meine Freude" by Johann
Franck; the hymn's six stanzas form the motet's odd-numbered movements. Bach
used the hymn tune by Johann Crüger in five different chorale settings (example
pictured). The hymn's text focuses on an emotional bond to Jesus, complementing
the doctrinal text from the Epistle to the Romans used for the even-numbered
movements. Jesu, meine Freude is one of the few works by Bach for five vocal
parts, in a structure of symmetries on different layers. It is unclear when the
motet was written. Bach scholar Christoph Wolff believed that Bach may have
compiled it to educate his choir in composition techniques and theology; an
earlier theory that it was written for a 1723 funeral in Leipzig is now
discredited. In 1927, it became the first of Bach motets to be recorded.

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Fran Wilde

The Andre Norton Nebula Award for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction is an
annual award presented by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America
(SFWA) to the author of the best young adult or middle grade science fiction or
fantasy book published in the United States in the preceding year. It is named
to honor prolific science-fiction and fantasy author Andre Norton (1912–2005),
and it was established by then SFWA president Catherine Asaro and the SFWA Young
Adult Fiction committee and announced on February 20, 2005. Andre Norton Award
nominees and winners are chosen by members of SFWA, though the authors of the
nominees do not need to be members. Works are nominated each year by members in
a period around December 15 through January 31, and the six works that receive
the most nominations then form the final ballot, with additional nominees
possible in the case of ties. During the 16 nomination years, 85 authors have
had works nominated, of whom 15 have won. Fran Wilde (pictured) is the only
author to have won twice, out of two nominations. Holly Black and Scott
Westerfeld have had the most nominations at four—with Black winning once and
Westerfeld yet to win—followed by Sarah Beth Durst with three nominations
without winning. (Full list...)
