What makes this flashmob one of the best performances of "Ode to Joy" is the way it starts so simply, with a lone bass; and then gradually builds in majesty as more musicians join in. I like to think that the audience in the square were surprised when the singers began: "Oh! Those aren't just random dudes watching the performance; that's a *chorus*!"

It's also nice to see the orchestra playing symphonic music dressed in hoodies and jeans - sends the message that classical music isn't just a high-brow art for the cultural elite, but is for everyone.

Happy 200th birthy, Ode an die Freude (Ode to Joy). It is was May 7th, 1824 that Beethoven premiered this 9th and final symphony in the Karnthnerthor Theater in Vienna. It is considered by many to be his triumphant work, and even those who submit other works as his paramouth will agree there is something truly uplifting about his last completed symphony. As most people know but it worth mentioning for those who do not know, Ludwig von Beethoven was completely deaf by the time he wrote this symphony. He wrote every note strictly by the power of his mind and his previous experience with music. That alone is a testament to his skilll and devotion to music. A bittersweet note to end on, it is true that Beethoven did not actually conduct his final symphony. This was no insult to him since he was aware of his condition, but he dutifully stood at the conductor's post while the orchestra was discretely lead by Michael Umlauf. But that is not the moment I speak of. That is but the setup. When the performance was over, Beethoven was so distraught and uncertain of how the audience would react that he did not turn around. Some argue it was because he was not able to hear his own orchestra, which was true, but it was also because he could not bear the thought of failing the audience. In a moment of sympathy, the contraltro, Caroline Unger, left her place, came to Beethoven, and gently turned him around so he could witness the rousing applause. It is reported upon seeing the delight of the people, Beethoven whispered in wonder, "Mien Meisterstruck.' ("My masterpiece").

Regardless of race, ethnicity, nation, culture, creed, ideology and language; melody, rythem, emotion and the creative spark reaches out to us all in kinship; for they speak to something deep inside us all, to reach out and touch and move each other. For all of humanities follies, failings and transgressions; it is perhaps this ember of music and dance; that can redeem all of humankind.

This song isn't just about Europe the EU cut parts of the lyrics out for their anthem for a reason. The lyrics are joy to the *world* where each man becomes brother. I don't blame Eu for using this song tho it's great song about unity but the reality is it's the anthem when the entire planet is unified. Anthem of world peace. Beethoven knew the score. Ps this is the global version it doesn't repeat the first verse of the poem like the EU version they sing the entire poem..

Children start to dance & play to the most classic of musical pieces of the ages.. The joy lights up every soul in that square, creating a memory for a life time. Humanity at its finest
