Ludwig van Beethoven was the musician who wrote the famous Ninth Symphony, also known as The Choral. Rather than use the term "artist" as it is used by musicians today, Beethoven was referred to as a composer. This particular symphony, Beethoven's final and properly called Symphony no 9 in D minor, is famous for scoring a choir as one of the "instruments".

It took Beethoven seven years to write the piece because of his declining health. The song was written from 1818 to 1824. It was called the 'Choral' song because Beethoven used a chorus in it. Ode to Joy was the last song in Beethoven's Ninth and last symphony.
Yes. The final movement of Beethoven's famous Symphony no.5 in C minor was scored for trombone. It was, in fact, the first time the trombone was used by Beethoven (though not the first time the trombone was used in a symphony). The trombone was also used in Beethoven's Sixth Symphony (the Pastorale) and his Ninth Symphony (the Choral).

The name of the full symphony is "Choral." The "Ode to Joy" was a poem Beethoven used as text in the last movement.

Beethoven brought new depth and passion to music. He used expression and dynamics in a way no previous composers had done, and he stretched instruments to the very limits of their range. He expanded the symphony orchestra to bring more power and passion to orchestral music.

In effect, every new recording is a new version, because of tempo differences, the skill of the singers and players, etc. Some performers try to use "practices" that were used in Beethoven's time, and to use instruments made and played as they were then, rather than using modern instruments. It's also possible at any time for someone to make arrangements of the music, even of the complete symphony, but those would be clearly designated as such. There is no new version of the 9th Symphony that could be played in a concert hall under that title.
