ALT0b: ... that "Like as the hart", a setting of Psalm 42 for a cappella choir, was composed by Judith Weir, Master of the King's Music, for the state funeral of Elizabeth II? Grimes2 (talk) 15:09, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for a decent article about a sad subject. It was, indeed, a fine piece of music in that context.

Earwig finds lots of similarities, but they are all titles and quotes. So no copyvio.

For "a cappella", citation no. 4 says "sung unaccompanied", which is acceptable.

I wish to emphasize on this occasion, that a quirky hook would be really wrong for this article which deals with music for an event which has saddened a lot of people. So I think the abovementioned hooks are fine, dealing as they do, with the simple main facts of the musical composition and its composer.

my preference is for ALT0b, Storye book (talk) 21:08, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Let's go with that one, then it's less urgent to deal with a hook for the "first female". My mind is on other things, a month later, and while the detail is interesting, it has not much to do with the composition. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:15, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
