Added by kheidtmann, 17 Apr 2018 3 Arrangements: 1 Beginner, 2 Easy Due to the large number of languages used in the European Union, the European Anthem is purely instrumental, and the German lyrics that Friedrich Schiller wrote and on which Beethoven based the melody have no official status. Despite this, the German lyrics are often sung by choirs or ordinary people when the anthem is played. For both Schiller and Beethoven, Joy (Freude) was inseparably linked to Freedom (Freiheit). Beethoven called forth Schiller’s message of universal brotherhood as a powerful manifestation for political freedom, for humanity, against repression. So he created an lasting symbol of a Good Life filled with brotherhood, unity, and freedom throughout the whole world. Sheet central : | Symphonie No. 9 en Ré mineur (281 sheet music) | |
