Hymns

Johann Sebastian Bach used his hymn "Jesu, nun sei gepreiset", in three stanzas of 14 lines each, for New Year's Day, in three cantatas composed in Leipzig for the occasion, first Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, BWV 190 (1724), a year later the chorale cantata Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 41 (1725), and Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm, BWV 171 (1729).[1][2]

gollark: 1. screening of ideas in advance doesn't mean they'll have clean/good code2. people won't make hatcheries constantly for no reason3. yes, badly programmed ones might do stupid amounts of requests, but people will say "this is slow, avoid it"4. there would be few enough that TJ09 can complain at people who do it wrong - or just add rate-limiting
gollark: That does seem kind of unlikely.
