| Ajoutée par crosby3145, 21 Fév 2018 One of the greatest pieces of music ever written, and the greatest melody of all time, was written by a deaf German composer in 1824. Since its premiere, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Ode to Joy has been a favorite of audiences for its exuberance, its heroism, its triumph, and—well, might as well use the word, its joy! Such a great piece of music was certainly worthy of being sung in church, and it was only a matter of time before someone got the idea to write a hymn to the tune. That someone (well, there may have been more than one, but the most successful in this area) was Henry van Dyke, a Presbyterian minister in New York. His famous words, “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee,” were first published in 1911. Van Dyke was inspired to write the hymn while guest preaching at Williams College in Williamstown Massachusetts—he said the Berkshire Mountains put him in the mood. Of his purpose in writing it, van Dyke said: “These verses are simple expressions of common Christian feelings and desires in this present time—hymns of today that may be sung together by people who know the thought of the age, and are not afraid that any truth of science will destroy religion, or any revolution on earth overthrow the kingdom of heaven. Therefore this is a hymn of trust and joy and hope.” Needless to say, the hymn was an unqualified success which usually makes it into hymnals—though somehow, it got left out of Soul-Stirring Hymns of the Faith. Great Hymns of the Faith includes it. This arrangement is not one of the beginner ones which so many fledgling musicians (myself included) have performed in their first concert. It is also not entirely in Beethoven’s style—Beethoven himself proved what Beethoven could do when he wrote the Ninth Symphony. Instead, this is my version of it—written hopefully with God’s help. I tried to make it grand and really bring out the joy, much like Beethoven did—only, all you need to perform this version is a piano. I hope that one day, this arrangement brings joy to your church, somewhere out there. Enjoy! Partition centrale : | Symphonie No. 9 en Ré mineur (281 partitions) | | |||
