For decades he had been wanting toSet Schiller's hymn toMusic, but it was only after the first three movements of the9th Symphony wereAlmost completed that he decided to compose a choral finaleFor the last movementBased on parts of the poem.In the conventions of the 1820s it was nothing less thanRevolutionary to end aSymphony in this manner - and at just over an hour the workWas also unusuallyLong. At it's first performance, in Vienna on May 7, 1824, theAudience was typicallyEnthusiastic, while the critics, as so often before, found theComposer's uniqueIdeas too novel and daring.Beethoven himself could not hear the clamour and the shouts of'Bravo', as he wasCompletely deaf by this time.An die freude - ode to joyO Freunde, nicht diese T鰊e!Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmenUnd freudenvollere!Freude, sch鰊er G鰐terfunken,Tochter aus Elysium,Wir betreten feuertrunken.Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!Deine Zauber binden wiederWas die Mode streng geteilt;Alle Menschen werden Br黡erWo dein sanfter Fl黦el weilt.Wem der grosse Wurf gelungenEines Freundes Freund zu sein,Wer ein holdes Weib errungen,Mische seinen Jubel ein!Ja, wer auch nur eine SeeleSein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehleWeinend sich aus diesem Bund.Freude trinken alle WesenAn den Br黶ten der Natur;Alle Guten, alle B鰏en,Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.K黶se gab sie uns und Reben,Einen Freund, gepr黤t I'm Tod;Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegenDurch des Himmels pr鋍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 SternenzeltMuss 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 tenorSolo)Text anne lawsonOperaresource - Verdiana -Pucciniana - Tenorissimo are-ds.
