NINTH SYMPHONY

Friedrich von Ode to Joy in Beethoven's setting for
four soloists,
and has taken on a special meaning as a fanfare for
peace, and
liberty all the world.

Beethoven's drafts for his opus 125 - the in the cycle of
symphonies - date
to the 1815 or 1816. For decades he had been wanting to
set Schiller's to
music, but it was only after the three movements of the
9th were
almost completed he decided to compose a choral finale
for the last
based on of the poem.

In the conventions of the it was nothing less than

AN DIE - ODE TO JOY

O Freunde, diese Te!
lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen
und freudenvollere!

Freude, Gterfunken,
aus Elysium,
Wir feuertrunken.
Himmlische, Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden
Was die Mode streng
Alle werden Brer
Wo dein Flel weilt.

Wem der Wurf gelungen
Freundes Freund zu sein,
Wer ein holdes errungen,
Mische Jubel ein!
Ja, wer auch nur eine
nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt, der
Weinend aus diesem Bund.

trinken alle Wesen
An den der Natur;
Guten, alle Ben,
Folgen Rosenspur.
Kse gab sie uns und Reben,
Freund, geprt im Tod;
Wollust ward dem gegeben,
Und der Cherub vor Gott!

Froh, wie seine fliegen
Durch des prht'gen Plan,
Laufet, Brer, Bahn,
Freudig, wie ein zum Siegen.

umschlungen, Millionen.
Dieser Kuss der Welt!
Brer! er'm
ein lieber Vater wohnen.
Ihr stzt nieder,
Ahnest du den Schfer,
Such ihn Sternenzelt!
er Sternen er wohnen.

(the four-line verse is the 'alla marcia' the tenor
solo)
