BEETHOVEN'S NINTH SYMPHONY
Friedrich von Schiller's Ode to Joy in Beethoven's setting for four soloists, chorus and orchestra has taken on a special meaning as a fanfare for peace, tolerance and liberty all over the world.
Beethoven's drafts for his opus 125 - the last in the cycle of symphonies - date back to the year 1815 or 1816. For decades he had been wanting to set Schiller's hymn to music, but it was only after the first three movements of the 9th Symphony were almost completed that he decided to compose a choral finale for the last movement based on parts of the poem.
In the conventions of the 1820s it was nothing less than revolutionary to end a symphony in this manner - and at just over an hour the work was also unusually long. At its first performance, in Vienna on May 7, 1824, the audience was typically enthusiastic, while the critics, as so often before, found the composer's unique ideas too novel and daring.
Beethoven himself could not hear the clamour and the shouts of 'Bravo', as he was completely deaf by this time.
AN DIE FREUDE - ODE TO JOY
O Freunde, nicht diese Té°Še! Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen und freudenvollere!
Freude, sch鰊er G�terfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken. Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Br黡er Wo dein sanfter Fl黦el weilt.
Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen Eines Freundes Freund zu sein, Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund.
Freude trinken alle Wesen An den Br黶ten der Natur; Alle Guten, alle B�en, Folgen ihrer Rosenspur. K黶se gab sie uns und Reben, Einen Freund, gepr黤t im Tod; Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen Durch des Himmels pr�ht'gen Plan, Laufet, Br黡er, eure Bahn, Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.
Seid umschlungen, Millionen. Dieser Kuss der ganzen Welt! Br黡er! 躡er'm Sternenzelt Muss ein lieber Vater wohnen. Ihr st黵zt nieder, Millionen? Ahnest du den Sch鰌fer, Welt? Such ihn 黚er'm Sternenzelt! 躡er Sternen muss er wohnen.
(the four-line verse is the 'alla marcia' section: the tenor solo)
