Maja S. K. Ratkje's A Dismantled Ode To The Moral Value Of Art for 6 Part Chorus.
It was performed under the direction of Leonard Bernstein at a concert to mark the fall of the Berlin Wall, it appears in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Hitler celebrated his birthdays with it, and the government of Rhodesia made it their anthem. And the prisoners in German concentration camps played it. It also figured prominently at Mitterand's 1981 investiture. In 2012, we celebrate the Ode to Joy's 40 years anniversary as National Anthem of the EU.

A lilting choral accompaniment evokes pizzicato sounds surrounding the tenor melody in verse one. The other verses are set more conventionally but still reflect the goals of our Christmas with The Singers series: that the audience will enjoy the famliarity of the carol but be enchanted by the creativity of the arrangement. Challenging, but masterful in how Matthew Culloton treats the ensemble as a self-sufficient choral idiom. Duration 2:30.
