In 1972 the
Council of Europe adopted
Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy'
as its anthem. The
well-known conductor
Herbert von Karajan was
commissioned to arrange
three instrumental
versions - for solo
piano, wind orchestra and
symphony orchestra.
Without words, in the
universal language of
music, the anthem is an
expression of the
idealistic values of
freedom, peace and
solidarity which Europe
stands for. In 1985 the
heads of state and
government adopted the
hymn as the EU's official
anthem. It does not
replace the national
anthems of the member
states, but rather
celebrates common values
as well as unity in
diversity.
