Best Answer

I am not sure if Priests ( Catholic) or Ministers ( Protestant) were involved, not knowing Beethoven"s religious background. The musician was known to have composed Nine symphonies- Nine clerics may have been a recognition of this fact, something like flowers spelling out say, l776 for patriotic angles.
