Back in the autumn of 1972, I was deep into my second year of studying compositional structure and technique. I was directed to select a milestone work for a thesis. I chose The Ninth. After countless days, watching the seasons change to winter and then spring, working at wee hours when only a persistent owl would always seem to come by, one might I felt this work instead of hearing it. It truly lifted me into the stars and then beyond. Part of me was left there, because when I awoke back into this realm, I knew something was different. Now, at the most challenging of times, it is as if I get a "calling" from very far away. And it is wondrous. It is hopeful. It is peaceful. So very full of love. And each time, I remember entering that portal on that night, long ago. And I am thankful.
When a violinist complained to Beethoven of the technical difficulties in one of his quartets, the composer shouted 'Do you think I am concerned with your wretched fiddle when the inspiration strikes me?' He didn't give a damn about technical difficulty. If you want simple technical demands, go play a Telemann sonata. If you want a rewarding musical and spiritual experience, Beethoven's your man.
It's not that hard really. As a conducting student who's sung this a good couple of times, I'd say most of the difficulty comes just from Beethoven being totally uninstructed in singing and also completely deaf at the time of writing this so a lot of the vocal parts are just plain awkward to sing at times. He was truly a genius, but he wasn't the best at writing for choir.
When one is singing something like this, one is caught up in it! One is usually exhausted upon completion of the performance but as exhaustion goes, it usually feels worth the effort unless one's director is a total arse and is mean as well. Otherwise it is uplifting. The experience of singing "inside" a group, being in tune, hitting harmonics is better than just listening. And just listening is very uplifting!
The soprano line is extremely high, and the G and A notes are solitary, nothing leads up to them, making it very difficult to sing without the preparation of a lead-up.
I love the fugue that takes place at 16:01, the orchestra and the choir complement each other in such a way that it seems like a divine song and the faster tempo is easy to recognize, simply Beethoven.
2:41 Allegro assai - pamattēma skan orķestrī; 7:14 "Freude, schöner" - “Prieks, tu gaisma”; sākumā dzied baritons ar basiem, pēc tam tikai baritons) 7:46 "Deine Zauber" - “Tava vara” (koris) 8:06 “Wem der große” - “Kam ir veiksme” (solisti) 8:31 “Ja wer auch” - “Jā, pat tas” (koris) 8:46 Freude trinken - Prieku bauda (solisti) 9:17 Küsse gab - Tas mums skūpstus (koris) 9:56 Allegro assai vivace alla Marcia (orķestris) 10:40 Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen - Priecīgi kā saules kustās (tenora solo) 11:16 Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn - Ejiet, brāļi, savu ceļu (koris) "Freude, schöner": 13:19 "Seid umschlungen" Allegro energico: 17:19
13:30 Both tenors and basses are in falsetto when unifying the F4 above middle C. One tenor and one baritone could try using their opera voice since they both have an F4 in use.
Have to say, although I really appreciate the work you do, this particular recording I thought was pretty swift in the opening, and in the final section, pretty slow. I've sung this a few times and was geared from a proper race to the finish!! Nvm, I honestly love that u still make video despite having to create new profiles for copyright reasons lol
I got excited for this song from a class i was taking! I came to listen more. It is crazy how they have to sing so fast, then go painstakingly slow at different moments. I sing (i am not a professional), it is so difficult. It is possible, but my head is spinning! My engine was revved up to go fast, then they want to go slow!!! It is def not easy! Great music, though!!!!
You know that he was deaf when he composed and conducted this piece. I mean, can you imagine doing this if you couldn’t hear? It’s just freaking awesome.
Убийствено пеене. Бетовен изобщо не е мислил колко е трудно за хоровите певци, дори за професионалистите. Но толкова силна и красива музика, че надхвърляш собствените си възможности и пееш!

I doubt you sang it badly if you think so The statement lends itself to strife for perfection Im not very impressed so often with some who think theyre so hot Yet its part of the package Its not always filled with the really good ones Only adequate. And there you have it Another severely critical voice and EAR Mustnt forget the ear though it happens hah
I like it when spider cat is walking in the wall and men are singing talking reality spider cat theme song lol and spider cat repeating everything you can say and Robert Peter says hello violet Liz Allan, and violet Liz says cat with a funny voice and then Peter Parker and Sheryl Kylie Toomes are starting their happy monster band on Hollywood studios
And then I Like Ralph’s World Pixar Marvel Teach 2 Talk Where Questions Volume One Celebrities The Movie And Then We could Dance Slow Or We Could Dance Quick And Kylie Perry Would Drink Her Kool Aid in a Cup and she is the Most Famous Singer in Pop And she is Twenty Four Years Old And she is the Most Famous Actress And Then Peek a Boo From Teach 2 Talk Where Questions Volume One The Movie And then Dora Ramirez And Boots McQueen were the best Friends in the world and then Kylie Bellamy the Most Indie Girl In A World And she is the most Famous Girl And she is the fashion sense of the world And she is the most famous beauty queen in the world And she is the Goddess of the Indie Universe And she is a Goddess Of Muse The Indie Rock Band at Hot Topic In Orlando Florida And she is the Only Female Singer in a Indie Rock Group And she is the Most Beautiful Woman at Hot Topic in Orlando Florida And she is the Only Woman
Essa sinfonia é a melhor entre todos os composições é insuperável, essa nona sinfonia estava pronto no universo, Bethoven simplesmente a recebeu de volta como ele fosse um grande médium de Deus! Ninguém é desse mundo todos viemos de outros mundos.
is there anywhere i can find the music at 9:05 in the same audio form as it was in the movie clockwork orange? it seemed so wonky and out of sync and i loved it
www.amazon.com/Stanley-Kubricks-Clockwork-Orange-1971/dp/B000002KDU/ref=pd_sim_m_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ZXFJZM1W0WE8PSBHFDT Track five - March From A Clockwork Orange (Ninth Symphony, Fourth Movement, Abridged)
This piano arrangement strips away a lot of detail, like that chord - possibly of necessity. It also incorrectly represents the bass as A, when in fact it is F. But anyone wanting to analyze the music would best go to the full score (available on imslp.org).
About this particular recording, what's happening in the very first chord? Am I going crazy or am I hearing notes that are not written (in this particular piano reduction, at least) ?
It's quite humorous that, whenever I feel like a piece is being taken too fast and check who is conducting, it's often the late maestro Abbado, as is the case here. I don't mean at all to disrespect his talent and his legacy as an artist, but he did have a tendency to rush at times.

That’s how I feel about some songs bro 😭😭😭💗
Such is the power of my Ludwig von.
It's been many years now, and after experiencing this wondrous work again. I am back where I belong--in the stars.
Killing singing. Beethoven wasn't thinking at all how difficult it is for choir singers, even for professionals.
Mozart was way more demanding on singers.

Magnificent! Thank you.
I very much appreciate the score posted with this. Helps with practicing when I don't have to turn the pages!
Thank you for putting the words to this inspirational music so I can learn to sing along.
I ain't no connoisseur of music, but in my opinion one of the best piece of art produced in pre and past classical style epoch.
My top 3:
1. Goldberg variations
2. Slowly (despacito)
3. River flows in you

You know that he was deaf when he composed and conducted this piece. I mean, can you imagine doing this if you couldn’t hear? It’s just freaking awesome.
The only time he got relief from the piercing silence he lived in was by biting a metal rod he attached to his piano while he played
Really neat

Yes exactly. Wish I knew the name for this part, not even sure there is one. "Tenor part"

To be honest, the ending should have been a bit faster....
I think its the speed at the end that gives it the wow factor.
other wise its great.
Im always good with the reduction of speed for clarity

It'd be better with full score…
I agree!
Good luck reading that!

Just great singing along with the baritone solo and the chorus I sung it badly but it was thrilling Better than being a passive listener
I doubt you sang it badly if you think so The statement lends itself to strife for perfection Im not very impressed so often with some who think theyre so hot Yet its part of the package Its not always filled with the really good ones Only adequate. And there you have it Another severely critical voice and EAR Mustnt forget the ear though it happens hah
My favorite peace of music. Does anyone know where one can get the pianoreduction?

How is it possible such an opening chord? That brass section is a scandal!
That's beethoven
It's Bbmaj7 and then in the reprise it's (maybe even more chilling) c#dim7 over d minor.
This piano arrangement strips away a lot of detail, like that chord - possibly of necessity. It also incorrectly represents the bass as A, when in fact it is F. But anyone wanting to analyze the music would best go to the full score (available on imslp.org).

It's quite humorous that, whenever I feel like a piece is being taken too fast and check who is conducting, it's often the late maestro Abbado, as is the case here. I don't mean at all to disrespect his talent and his legacy as an artist, but he did have a tendency to rush at times.
I actually feel it's too slow in places.

Very dynamical, clear and overall very nice and interesting performance. But it still lacks some fire and emotional depth IMO.
hahaha
16:03
Commercials in the middle of the piece? That's just wrong!
I’d like 8:58 to be much slower.
4:21
Slow ending, otherwise, great tenor solo!
What exactly do you mean? The ending is marked as “Prestissimo” (very fast). In what way is it slow?
