category for Lamentations, Elegies, etc.?

Post by vaarky »

Please see my musings about a category for Laments, such subcategories for things such as Composer Elegies, Elegies for Royalty, Lover's Laments, etc.

http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Talk ... laments.3F

I've started populating http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Laments through the Genre section--not sure if that's the best approach:
http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Laments

Feedback appreciated.

I've just moved this topic here (from Administrative discussions < Maintenance & Improvement), since I'm sure that we would like a wider discussion. I added a comment that I think the Laments category should be restricted to secular works (not, say, Lamentations of Jeremiah, Passions, Requiems). Please feel free to add your own comments and suggestions.
