With its concluding "Ode To Joy" movement, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is perhaps music's greatest testament to freedom. Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 has become synonymous with mankind's highest aspirations. Using the poem "Ode to Joy" by Frederich Schiller, Beethoven crafted an unsurpassed work about freedom, liberty and spiritual honesty. It is a work for large orchestral forces incorporating vocal soloists and full chorus into a 4 movement symphonic work.

The fourth movement of the 9th symphony (the "Ode to Joy" choral movement) has been used in many festive and celebratory ways. It is now the official anthem of the European Union. In 1989, the complete 9th Symphony was performed in Berlin by Leonard Bernstein to celebrate the dismantling of the Berlin Wall. It also makes an appearance at Olympic Games and United Nations events. It is one of the most performed works of classical music in the whole repertoire.

The Ninth Symphony has been called one of the highest achievements of man alongside Shakespeare's Hamlet and King Lear. Adding it as underscore in your production will give your project a spiritually uplifting and masterful soundtrack. License Beethoven's 9th today!
