I recently joined your site. What can I say, thanks is not enough. It was my dream to know all about Bach's Cantatas and you have made it possible. The site is seriours and reliable. I have enjoyed so many ones i did not knew about them! And all the comments are extremely valuable so to have a better understanding of them. I have joined of course the mailing list.
My name is Carlos Fleitas and i live in Uruguay the most southern country of South America.
Congratulations and thank you very much for your great work.

Greetings Aryeh,
I've been working on a comprehensive chorale project, and I find the BCW to be an absolutely amazing site! Bravo. It brings me great pleasure using it.
One question: Would you like me to report to you any errors that I happen to come across? I don't find many at all, but only the occasional typo, incorrect link or missing title.
Just let me know.
All best,
Luke

Luke Dahn wrote (June 21, 2013):
Great. There's not much I have by way of improving the site. I really appreciate just how comprehensive it is. There is one idea that I think would be very cool. The BCW currently has chorale indices arranged by chorale text title and by chorale melody title, but how useful would it be to have an index arranged by chorale tune melody! Apparently there was (is?) an edition of the Bach chorales published by Novello in the 1930s(?) that has such an index, though I haven't seen it myself.

I am currently working on creating an edition of Bach chorales arranged by Schmieder number. It will have all the things I find lacking in other editions of the chorales (e.g. original texts, easy cross-reference for finding other harmonizations of the same melody, hymn/tune meters, etc.). It's a personal project and a labor of love, regardless of whether it ends up being published or not. My edition will certainly include a chorale melody index.
