Ode to Joy

Beethoven was a very famous composer. His song "Ode to Joy" is very easy to sing because there are very few high notes, and it is conjunct.

"Ode to Joy," the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, has been recorded countless times since its composition in 1824. While it's difficult to pinpoint an exact number, estimates suggest thousands of recordings exist, ranging from orchestral performances to choral renditions and various adaptations across genres. Its universal themes of joy and brotherhood have made it a popular choice for artists worldwide.

"Ode to Joy" can be played using the notes E, E, F, G, G, F, E, D, C, C, D, E, E, D, D. For a simple version, you can use the corresponding keys on the piano. The melody primarily revolves around these notes, making it relatively easy to play for beginners.

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

He was deaf. Completely deaf. He couldn't hear anything so to "hear" his own music he cut the legs off his piano and felt the vibrations as he played.

The poem Ode to Joy was written in 1785 by Friedrich Schiller. Almost 40 years later, in 1824, the poem was set to music by Beethoven, as part of his Ninth Symphony. This is the form of Ode to Joy that most people are familiar with. So, if you consider something that was written over 200 years ago old - then yes it is.

"Ode to Joy" is the English name of "An die Freude," which is the last movement and also the vocal section of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. You should be able to find it in a record store classified under Classical, and if they further classify by composer, Beethoven.

Many choirs have also sung this tune (wither either English or German words) without the entire symphone; but there is no predicting what the title of the album would be. You might ask the clerk at the record store for help finding it.
