"Ode to Joy," the text written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785, is in the public domain. However, the musical composition by Ludwig van Beethoven, which was first published in 1824 as part of his Ninth Symphony, is also in the public domain. While variations or specific arrangements of the piece may be copyrighted, the original text and music themselves are not.
