The anthem of Europe is based on the "Ode to Joy," a piece composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. The melody is from the final movement of his Ninth Symphony, completed in 1824. The lyrics of "Ode to Joy" were originally written by the German poet Friedrich Schiller in 1785. The anthem was adopted by the Council of Europe in 1972 and later by the European Union.
