We need more of these acts of 'spontaneous joy in music' in our world. I've see with everyone how it lifts the spirit, evaporates barriers & creates a moment of 'space in everything' allowing all, for one brief momement to ignore differences & almost become one. 😊❤🎉
My hat is off to those who performed this. Very difficult to pull of even in a performance setting much less this flash mob crowd. It brought me back to the time I witnessed the BSO perform the entire Beethoven’s 9th outdoors on the commons on a beautiful summer evening. The playing was spot on and the effect was ethereal. Never to be forgotten.
They actually had to re-record a bit of this afterward. You'll see some of the string players came out of a pub. They'd had a couple too many, and when they tried to play, they were off tempo. There it was, the bottom of the Ninth. The basses were loaded. The score, tied.
Wonderful! I don't know what to praise first. Beethoven, the performance or the setting. I've stood in that very spot numerous times but it was never so lovely. Thank you.
Praise God; Jesus Christ, the Creator of ALL things-including music. Even the words in this song declare His name: "For by Him *all things were created,* both in the heavens *and on earth,* visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; *all things* have been created *by Him* and for Him" [Col 1 v16] *Truth is a stubborn thing.*
English people, you are no longer in the European Union. Why did you do that? You are like us and we needed you. But you remain Europeans - and that's a good thing. Greetings from Munich/Bavaria
Perhaps there should be a flash mob Ode to Joy every day in London until the horrid Tory government gives up, and a decent coalition takes over, and gets us back into the EU, where we belong. And Von der Leyen needs to quit the EU. Then we can all live in peace and prosperity.
The best Christmas gift to share with your new cyber supporters fans, celebrating Jesus Christ birthday event it must be the biggest paaaarty ever seen fans, those who are Covid immune lucky untouchables giving us a hope that all this global apocalypse can be over, sing along everybody plizzzzzz
der mit seiner Kamera-Klicken nervt ... merkt der nicht, dass er neben der Video-Kamera steht? Die dein dauerhafteres dokumentarisch Zeitdokument für RUclips macht ... kann es sich nicht zurückhalten mit seiner Presse-Kamera (wer hat sonst heute noch analog-klicken) für sein vergängliches Tagesblatt ...
You should get a well known Rock Group to play Ode to Joy.Believe me,it would be fantastic.You would have the electric guitars,Etc. at full blast.Yeah,Man,Yeah.
That is a perfect example for beeing a stupid person. germany is one of the greatest export nations in the world. latest example is the vaccine you took against covid 19. i dont know why people like you exist.
Who cares? This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written in ANY language! By a man who was DEAF when he wrote it, hearing each part in his mind!
No disrespect intended, I also hasten to add that I have been a fan of Beethoven for more than 60 years. However, this sounded like a wall full of cats wailing for supper and simultaneously arguing amongst themselves over the choice of entre. You gave it a valiant effort.
@ian sharp BELLY LAUGH OUT LOUD OF THE WEEK AWARD 🏆 😂 I'm exactly the same lol In the shower I'm a, sensation. It's when I get out of the shower that even the backyard cats yell in unison, "Shuddup will ya!"
typical Britain.. im sure they had to get permits from the police, fire service, ambulance mayor, a bill passed on their behalf , health a safety present, crowd control van, cctv monitoring stations, etc..... compared to other flash mobs.. they were better off performing in a church than on the street...it lost all its flair
It was the most awful performance of that nobly inspiring and uplifting work of musical and poetic art that I have ever listened to. The screeching tone was a tragic parody of what Beethoven intended. Without the full bodied sound of cellos it was painful to hear.
What a spitefully infantile thing to say. We have as much right as anyone to the enjoyment of Beethoven's wonderful music and ( I think) Goethe's noble and inspiring words. And who gave you the right to decree who should be allowed that pleasure. Your bigotry encapsulates all that patriotic people of every nationality, detest and abhor. If you and like-minded people imagine that poisonous opinions such as yours will one day make Brits come crawling back to be governed by the European Polit Bureau, you have badly misread the character of the British people. Get a life and grow up Uwe
@@arthurrsaker8893 The words of european Anthym are written by Friedrich Schiller, who was a german Poet and a friend of Goethe. Both lived in Weimar and profit from each other. The original Titel of Schillers poem is "Ode an die Freude". And Britannia is welcom back in the european family, I hope you come back soon.
MUSIC does not have political boundaries! Only art, and emotion! What country, doesn’t matter. Boundaries change. Ruling parties don’t matter. They change often. Governments do not matter. They change. Music is a form of permanent prayer, and the peak of human achievement. Hopefully, when Aliens come down to Earth, they listen to real music, and NOT inane political blathering.

IMO, still the most beautiful piece of music ever written.
That & his MOONLIGHT SONATA. Best ever
This needs to be a common occurrence, bring Joy to the World

Three strings & a bassoon: great start. love the simple sounds.
We have those beautiful people on our planet. Thanks God!

cant never go wrong with ode to joy !!!!!! .....
What we all need now is certainly more of this ! Encore ! 👍🏼☺️
Johann~ Philadelphia 🇬🇧🇺🇸
One day this will be the World Anthem God willing and US willing ❤❤❤❤😊
Bravo !!!!!!!!
performance awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beethoven is smiling
FLASH MOBS MAKE ME CRY
We are waiting for you to return to the EU. We need you.
Wonderful. Britannia, come back in the EU

Beethoven of course!

Bloody marvelous.
WOW... such a treat for the senses and the Soul.....
Glorious, Wonderful, Raises my Soul 🌬️
So beautiful when so many come together to make a joyful noise! Thank you all, from Florida with love. ♥️
Brilliant.
Fookin symphony makes me cry every damn time.
Seems to make you cuss like a 6th grader too.
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! beethoven is smiling
You certainly took the title to heart, your music is an Ode to Joy in itself. Love it!
English people, you are no longer in the European Union. Why did you do that? You are like us and we needed you.
But you remain Europeans - and that's a good thing. Greetings from Munich/Bavaria
thanks it so wonderful
Beautiful.
When the woodwind comes in i always smile, and think of Rumpole.
A mais bela música de Beethoven
🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺
I enjoyed this performance. But, I just can't get over how bundled up everyone is in June. Here in Houston, Texas, it was 35°C on June 7th. :-)
This was probably February, because London gets super hot during summer

We can get all seasons in one day so who knows?! Just be prepared for all eventualities 😊
...and that's how controversial British weather can be as I forgot to say about the fantastic music! Brilliant x
i love lodon
Add to Bucket List: Witness or be involved in Flash Mob before I die!!!
❤❤❤
Every time I hear this piece, it sums up all that we lost with Brexshit
🤩
Fashion magic
how can I get permission to use this video in a live stream on National Rejoin Day?
hi there - do you want to email us at info@dasharts.org.uk. thank you
Oder an die Freude!
Great Britain is more united in Europe as in the United Kingdom itself!
😘😍
This aged like fine wine
Ja!
Were they singing in German?
Yes
@ thx 4 the reply
*sigh* You cheeky buggers
England, sorry that you voted to leave the European Union? Ancient Alien Theorists say YES!
Perhaps there should be a flash mob Ode to Joy every day in London until the horrid Tory government gives up, and a decent coalition takes over, and gets us back into the EU, where we belong. And Von der Leyen needs to quit the EU. Then we can all live in peace and prosperity.
If the British were singing more often that hymn they will probably still belonged in the EU ,
Yay for once the flashmob didn't hack the harmonies and parts
Beautiful. pOignant. Too bad it's no longer the UK's transnational anrthem.
I can see. Nigel farage crying in his office
Poor thing 🤣(it is ironic of course)
Nigel Farage has left the chat.
I hope they have improved since this performance
Beethoven borrowed the main theme from Mozart's Misericordias Domini.
Here we are 29/05/2021 about to exit COVID 19 FREEDOM AT LAST.
If they were to do this today 2024 they would be arrested for rioting
They would not.

U CANT DO IT WITHOUT TIMPANI
Me Indian
Listing to a song sung in German
By the British 😅
According to the text not sung by British cut European citizens though based in Britain...
Good effort, but ours definitely sounds more like a load of carol singers compared to the rest.
Ours?
beutiful but sad to watch. Ode to Joy is the anthem of the EU. But the UK has turned its back on the EU, to its own detriment.
You are gone stay gone , you are welcome to Truss . B
Ein bisschen schwach auf der Brust das Ganze

Hats off, but check out the German versions , you got knocked off the park,
When u decided to copy this, you didn't realized the original flashmob has all the sounds perfectly mixed in studio.
But a year later, in a day which made the UK weaker, they left.
one good thing germany produced^^
That is a perfect example for beeing a stupid person. germany is one of the greatest export nations in the world. latest example is the vaccine you took against covid 19. i dont know why people like you exist.
In England but singing a german song 😂

as nation which was subjugate by little England i i have no love for you
j' a l' imression qu' ils chantent avec un accent français !
out of sync
Ode to Joy the EU empire anthem ..History tells us all Empires fall in the end not long now
No disrespect intended, I also hasten to add that I have been a fan of Beethoven for more than 60 years. However, this sounded like a wall full of cats wailing for supper and simultaneously arguing amongst themselves over the choice of entre.

@ian sharp Ian my friend, that is all anyone can ever do. A very fair point you made and one I sincerely applaud. 👌🏼

That's unkind! No, it's not the best version ever (N
(Nurnberg?) But it's fun and happy-making.
Europahymne in London...Leute lauft...lol
As a young Brit, I say bring on the Beethoven!
I am so sorry you guys voted for Brexit.
Were not
@@russskinner that is "we are not" (also "we're not") but not "were not."
What has Beethoven's 9th got to do with BREXIT? Please enlighten me?
@@nigelbevan8449 Ode to Joy is the European Union's anthem.
@@pascalmassie4706 But "the EU" didn't exist when Beethoven' was alive...
HONESTYLY it would look a huge lot better without the music scores
not synchronized 😢

This choir is just as disharmonious as the EU itself.
На открытом пространстве исполнять любую музыку непросто. Тем более, что 9 симфония прелполагает исполнение двойным составом оркестра и хора.
they didn't want the Union
I certainly did 🇬🇧 🇪🇺
Bring back ca
Classical , we all know what pop is crap
Hehe ironic
Well, at least they tried.
Just more remoaner stuff - will they never learn that the British people voted for a wonderful Brexit.
armature hour
Fund the arts properly , stingy tories !!
That was a dreadful rendition.
Horrible. Not even a glad noise.
Thank you Jesus!!! NOT AN ARAB IN SIGHT!!!!!!!
The British have no right to play and sing the anthym of Europe !!!
