Tenor's solo and following choir from 2010, April 2nd concert in Montreal. According to "La Press" the performance was sold out and more then 2500 people attended.

Lyrics:

Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen
Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan,
Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn,
Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.

Glad, as His suns fly
Through the Heaven's glorious design,
Run, brothers, your path,
Joyful, as a hero to victory.

Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt
Muss ein lieber Vater wohnen.
Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?
Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt?
Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt!
Über Sternen muss er wohnen. Be embraced, millions!

This kiss for the whole world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
Must a loving Father dwell.
Do you bow down, millions?
Do you sense the Creator, world?
Seek Him beyond the starry canopy!
Beyond the stars must He dwell.


"Ode To Joy" (German: "Ode an die Freude", first line: "Freude, schöner Götterfunken") is an ode written in 1785 by the German poet, playwright and historian Friedrich Schiller, celebrating the ideal of unity and brotherhood of all mankind.
It is best known for its musical setting by Ludwig van Beethoven in the final movement of his Ninth Symphony (completed in 1824), a choral symphony for orchestra, four solo voices, and choir.

The Beethoven setting is the official anthem of the European Union; the former anthem of Rhodesia used its tune. It has been used in a number of other contexts; possibly the most famous use of it in popular culture is within the Die Hard franchise.

  • superb. would love to hear him sing the Prize Song

  • what is the name of than concert hall

  • Sorry but at the passage "Laufet Brübeder " the Chorus is nearly not to hear.I have myself sung it last weekend...and had to sing this part all in Fortissimo.(Loud),because the Orchester playing Full and also very Loud.

  • I can only recommend to all of you who argue about something irrelevant here, please come one time in your life to salzburg or vienna and listen to that piece of music live. If you do that i bet you will never forget it, Youtube can give you much these days, but something like Symphonie No.9 is something you wont know where or who you are if you listen to it live. What a precious MASTERPIECE! Greets from Austria.

  • The one that disliked this video is SATAN!

  • If this becomes top favorited video for at least a day, my faith in humanity will be restored.

  • @Joseph3044 now you are lying to yourself have you visited the torture chambers the vatican used. The popes killed 200 million christians all together by burnning them and using machienes of torture and you claim it didnt take place they even apologized for what they did and you claim it didnt happen

  • @Joseph3044 The LORD JESUS said he did not come to change the law. The catholic church has taken full responsibility for changing the sabbath day. The catholic church has stated if you follow the bible you will keep saturday. bUt the catholic church has stated that there traditions over ride the scriptures. that is blasphemy. The church is not build on peter jesus called peter a little rock and ejsus said the chruch he build on was foundation rock paul said we have one foundation christ
