- Many thanks to all the members of the "Hans-Sachs"-Choir and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Nuremberg who took up our idea enthusiastically and performed it so well at the Lorenzkirche in Nuremberg on the 14th of June 2014!" Ode an die Freude or "Ode to Joy" is best known for its use by Ludwig van Beethoven in the final (fourth) movement of his Ninth Symphony, completed in 1824. organized by Evenord-Bank eG-KG
I'm a grown man of 58...been through more hell and grief than I can hardly bear, yet this video of joy and love opened up the floodgates of tears that I couldn't control....
Praise god. Receive him today. . He loves you !!
OMG ... I'm so glad you said that . I'm 54, and part way through the tears started rolling. So beautiful!❤
@@bonnieinthespirit6373 That's exactly the words in the poem of 9th symphony!!!!
You, too?
I miss this all. A world where people celebrate joy and unity.
Then start yourself a flashmob
You may Say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not The only one 😢
The little girl wasn't "surprised", she was part of the act. But what a way to bring in such a wonderful rendition of "Ode to Joy". It truly is one of those pieces that always make you feel good.
I just thought it was *REALLY* convenient that she played a song the whole orchestra and chorus was prepared to play at the drop of a dime... /s
was coming here to say the same thing. She was part of the performance.
Ditto! I usually don't care for staged events, but this was an exception. It was magical!
the little girl is the conductors daughter
Sometimes it's nice to not state the obvious and just enjoy watching the always building performance.
@@talosray still such a beautiful version of this song. You can hear the love they have for their craft and the passion they have for it
The story is that when “Ode to Joy” was first performed, the Great Master was watching but was totally deaf. He was watching the choir and had to be gently turned around to see the wild applause that greeted his greatest masterpiece.
Wasnt it also told that he got several standing ovations, even?
That Beethoven, he knew a thing or two about glorious music didn't he? What a privilege to witness this live!
He can’t be that good since he hasn’t made a new music in almost 200 years.
@@JamesL0717 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And to think he composed this masterpiece whilst totally deaf!
@@JamesL0717 Out of work.
Amen!!!!
Humans are meant to come together and do amazing things. Not destroy eachother.
I cried watching this and I didn't even notice the tears on my face until I felt a drop hit my lap.
I so agree. What a contrast to war and destruction.
Brought tears to my eyes!
I tried not to cry but they really killed it
Good morning Troy,
I am assuming you are a male as per your name - all I can say is that you are a "real" and complete man and human being as evidenced by your admission and true ability to simply cry. I'm very serious - I think the majority of males are actually embarrassed to weep.
So sad but true. As a male I have no difficulties whatsoever with shedding tears when appropriate or not.
God bless 'ya and all the best to you and yours,
Terry
The one thing that flash mob teaches us is that different as we are like instruments, if we come other we will live in a better world.
Music has no boundaries, no religion, only LOVE.
Or even that music IS the religion. The PATH to love!
cheers
I live in Mississippi,USA. I’m 57yrs old. I first saw this video about six months ago. When I saw it , it made me think that if everyone on earth came together in harmony like this group of very diverse and talented musicians,if for just one day, can you imagine how much of a impact it would have on basically everything.. where I live,at the moment,our lives are fixing to be in a total uproar. We are being flooded with refugees from all over the earth. Also we are poisoned with corrupt politicians,and greedy big businesses ,and our street crimes are fixing to skyrocket. I had to look up this video to have my little fantasy one more time. I read some of the comments and realized it affected lots of people from all around the world,just like it did for me. God bless and keep all of you and your loved ones, now and all the days we have left.
I know how you feel I live in the UK
There is nothing that brings people together more than song.
As my son was growing up here in Montreal CA. we would travel around by the metro system and it would always be a highlight of the day if there were a musician preforming, something we would always stop and watch.
This video is everything that's right about this world.
76 in TX and feel the same way
Wow! There's a whole lot of sadness in your comment! I'm praying that God keep you safe!
Anybody eles feel they could listen to this all day long like I could
I do
Me too. This piece by Beethoven never gets tiring to listen too.
Love it when they finally get together and the choir comes in strong!
Definitely
Yes, I'm becoming obsessed with these videos
I don't care whether it was staged or not, that was some performance by all of them. Such a great piece of music and Beethoven would be chuffed to hear it played today. He really would
What a privilege it would be to witness such a thing. A moment of peace in a world filled with chaos.
I once heard a little six year girl in kindergarten playing the Ode to Joy melody on a little xylophone, and playing it correctly. I ran around the corner to find out who was playing and nearly cried it was such a beautiful sight. When I walked in on her practicing she was shy and stopped. But the beauty of a child playing Ode to Joy all on their own will always warm my heart.
I do so hope you told her of the beauty you heard and encouraged her to always play on.
The purpose of music is to enjoy and give joy to others. These wonderful musicians did it
I have seen this before, but it still brought tears to my eyes, and even though I know that this was not spontaneous, this had to all be staged, by the end I still have tears running down my cheeks. Ludwig van Beethoven would have loved to have known that two centuries later, his music still moves people to tears and inspires millions, filling our hearts with joy. Side note: Beethoven was the first major composer to use the human voice as an instrument within a symphony. Utilizing an orchestra bigger than any other at the time, and with a length of well over an hour, longer than any other symphonic work, Beethoven's 9th Symphony was a major turning point in the history of music. Beethoven inspired composers to begin breaking the "rules of composition", and to begin exploring the use of different instruments, unconventional orchestration, large assemblies, and to incorporate deep, extreme emotion in music that would soar to great heights. Music would never be the same. During World War I, German POWs introduced Beethoven to their Japanese captors, and Japanese orchestras began to perform his works. After World War II, Japanese orchestras began performing Beethoven's 9th symphony, hoping to bring in enough paying audience members to help fund rebuilding and reconstruction of the nation. Since then, it has become a Japanese tradition to perform Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the end of every year. On Christmas Day 1989, conductor Leonard Bernstein conducted a performance to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Thank you for the interesting trivia
Iyt was staged but most of the people were just there, it was one of those flash mobs, there's one in the USA that does things like this in random places and it's very cool because the people just walking around, shopping, or whatever had no clue and then all of a sudden the event happens and you can tell people that werent in on the act are totally taken by surprise
thanks for the comment...you provided a great jump-off point for others to learn and appreciate classical music.
Now that is really cool, the bit about the POWs! I think I remember that the Ninth was composed after Beethoven started to go deaf? A true masterpiece!
Thank you for the history!
We need much more of this. People coming together for the love of music, art, street plays, whatever it may be. No worry about nationality, religion, color or even age. Play for love and togetherness. 😃😃👋👋💖💖
Really ! Ja ! Wir brauchen mehr davon - mehr Musik - die Musik bringt die Menschen zusammen und stimmt sie fröhlich und friedlich. Wie schön, dass es die Musik gibt und Menschen, die sie anderen Menschen zum Geschenk machen.
It is very true< music is the best to keep the people together in love and peace. With other words< make music (love) not war!
This is a perfect example of how music can bring people together.
If there are any misspellings in my comment, please forgive me. It is difficult to see my screen through my tears. Peace and Love to all.
🎼🕊❤
Why is it that, even as a 50 year old man, whenever I see/hear an orchestra perform this piece, I begin to weep?
You are not weeping alone
Because your soul has been touched and connected to pure love.
Just as I am...it's because we are human.
Me too.
Because men start to Lose Testosterone at age 30❓️
All kidding aside, the "Ode To Joy" is a fun piece, but the only piece of music I can Not listen to in Public is
"I Vow To Thee My Country".
I lose my normally Stoic composure Every time.
THIS is the world i wanna live in where this could actually happen. lovely vid
Exactly This is how it should have looked
Das war 2014! Und es war vor dem Sündenfall dem Islam in unserem Land Tür und Tor zu öffnen!
Wie wohltuend all die Menschen zu sehen ohne diese ganzen herumlungernden jungen Moslems die diese Kultur hassen und sich nicht mit Christen verbrüdern wollen!

It was obviously a flash mob performance, they sounded amazing.
What a nice rendition! She was part of the act, that little girl, but if it made people happy, that’s all that matters.
Every time I see one of these starting to happen I get so choked up! Something about seeing all these talented people gathering together to make beautiful music really gets to me.
And the angels gathered about to sing glory unto the savior!
Teaching my daughter this music is a milestone.
I wish I could give this a million likes. This will be my new go-to video when I'm feeling down... Just beautiful!!!
This brings tears to my eyes. Wish I could experience such beautiful playing!
Which only shows that classical music transcends generations and will still remain forever. It is the duty of the older generation to teach to the next generation the beauty and magic of the classics.
What's really amazing is that the kid took of his headphones at 2:29
That's when fine arts won over crappy modern day music
Lol. I loved that!
@@somnorthport1560 how long have rap and hip hop been around, 20 maybe 30 years? Well, the Romantic movement was around for just a century or two so...
WHATS REAL AND RELEVANT NOW BEYOTCH?!?!
How about old couple after
He was probably just confused what was going on and why a 2 foot long ultra hd 4k camera was pointed at his face😂
There's no more fitting name to any song than Ode to Joy. The name doesn't even describe the song but rather the emotion you feel while listening to the song. Perfection.
What an apt and very cool observation. You have me asking myself why that never occurred to me.
Love these people wish there were more like them
Ode to Joy is right! People gathering together to produce something so beautiful and emotionally connective just proves that music is a truly binding force in the universe. This brought youthful tears to my eyes.
This is absolutely beautiful! I loved how it continued to evolve into an arousing ending!
Not all flash mobs are exciting, but those with music always give me goose bumps. The best part for me is the fun all the musicians have while playing, something they can't show in a concert. Heartwarming. ❤️
We could do with a lot more of this, it would certainly cheer people up , wonderful.
In this current world of insanity and war, a tranquil moment of happiness and peace.
"We are the Heaven where His Love resides." Beethoven proves this is true!
Beethoven's 9th Symphony is simply the most beautiful music ever written ❤ 😢♥
This makes me wish we lived in a world where this was the rule and not the exception. it looks like some of the crowd know the lyrics to the song which is a beautiful thing.
Still brings a tear to this old man's eyes. This is the first music i remember ever hearing.....dad was a Beethoven fan.
It’s always good to be reminded that humans can do beautiful things
What a amazing gift to be walking in your city and encounter something like this!
*UNFORGETTABLE!*
That moment where the mother and child are dancing to the music.
The way everybody, no matter their language or background, all stop and can appreciate the beauty of music.
I imagine Beethoven looking down from above with a tear in his eye
The musicians and the people are all so happy. Just look at the smiles. Thanks for sharing. From Kentucky
Ode to Joy is probably one of the best song's written. It still resonates here in 2023 😊❤❤❤❤
Music is one of our true international achievements. It can be appreciated everywhere, and knows no boundaries.
This was so absolutely heartwarming and at a time when I feel not only my country but the world seems to become so fragmented and detached, this was very healing for my soul. Well done! I would love to see more of this around the world. We are all connected and this just makes one feel just that. Thank you. Made my day today.
Margo Peyton
If you look at the history of the world, it is now the least fragmented and detached it has ever been. There has been no other time in the world’s history that the people as a whole are more connected. But with that comes a deluge of information of everything going on in the world both heartfelt and heartbreaking. As humans that are so fragile in our existence, we tend to focus and remember the heart breaking as a form of survival mechanism. So this is really the connectivity paradox. The more you are connected the more you feel disconnected.
@@charlesgoodis6302 They were expressing how they felt. Why did you have to analyze them?
I could listen to this all day. Perfect example of how harmonious strangers can be when we can come together without any predjudous.
Truly creat music always seems to sound better when it's impromptu. Specially classical.
Hierfür gibt es nur ein Wort "GROSSARTIG"!!
👍👍☺️☺️🌺🌺
Does anyone else cry uncontrollably at this? Every single time, it unleashes some euphoric, beautiful, sad, triumphant joy. I didn't know these emotions were still in me.
That's the good 'ol Van B. for you. A true master of his craft, no doubt
You must be one very cool person ! 🎉
Yes, it moves me to tears too.
Music like this is life changing. Passion like this has a weight to it and I’ve been moved to tears. I love the smiles and fun of it all. I hope she remembers that for the rest of her life.
These Ode to Joy flash mobs always bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing this one.
My parish choir in rural Australia use to sing, always brought the appropriate response! Great!
I’m trying to imagine how I’d have felt having this happen whilst I’d simply wandered into the square. Moving to watch in video, it must have been incredibly emotional to be present. What a beautiful gift from the little girl and her friends in the orchestra.
I've seen flash mob singing and dancing, but, not an orchestra! It's Simply Amazing! I bet she studies music and becomes part of one when she's older!!❤❤
I'm 70
and of all of the music that I've listened to over the long years, Ode to Joy is the only piece that will always put a smile on my face
Love watching the people’s reaction.
Salieri gets a bad rap as the man supposedly jealous of Mozart, yet in teaching Beethoven he inspired the most incredible music. It was Salieri who taught Beethoven how to weave voice into orchestra. He taught him expressiveness and rhythm. Salieri also taught Schubert and Liszt. The greatness of a teacher lies in the way he encourages talent to soar. In Ode To Joy I hear so much of how successful Salieri was when Beethoven learned to soar. It is music that goes way beyond mere talent into something magical.
Grazie, per questi pensieri musicali.
Thought it was salieri and Mozart?
@@DanBeech-ht7sw It is true that Mozart can be said to be another of Salieri's pupils, although probably not in any formal sense. Since Salieri commonly wrote operas in multiple languages, it may have been Salieri's inspiration that caused Mozart to want to write opera in German. Salieri was by far the most popular composer of the two during Mozart's lifetime, and it seems they had a great deal of professional respect between them.
The depiction in the movie of Salieri as a jealous and resentful man of little talent is pure fiction. The whole story of Salieri poisoning Mozart was malicious gossip and Mozart's death was not consistent with poisoning. He was described as having small bumps on his skin, and he had been weakened by exessive blood-letting the night before he died. His skull, which survives shows signs of fractures from several falls which he had experienced in the previous three years, and it is thought that it is likely that these caused a subdural hematoma. It should also be noted that Mozart had suffered from several serious diseases during his short life, including pneumonia, bronchitis, typhoid fever, rheumatism, and chronic gum disease, the combination of which would have weakened him, and there have been suggestions that rheumatic fever may have also played a role in his death. There could have been multiple factors involved, and the blood letting may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
The scuttlebutt about poisoning Mozart greatly affected Salieri, and he subsequently suffered from depression and multiple nervous breakdowns which would account for the decline in his career at that time. However the conspiracy theories surrounding Mozart's death has meant that the public has connected Salieri and Mozart in a way that is not supported by the facts, and Salieri fails to get his deserved recognition for his positive contributions to the creative output of so many great composers that were to follow.
As a viola player in orcherstras over the years, I had come across a beautiful saying: 'Music is prayer without words.'
There are other versions, but I prefer this one. And it was found on the front of a German opera house.
I LOVE IT!❤
God bless you
I saw this video a couple years ago and it still brings tears to my eyes, and I watched it twice last night before bed and another time this morning. This is for me, the greatest and most uplifting piece of music ever written. Thank you Herr von Beethoven. This warms my heart and lifts my spirits every time it's played in my hearing.
Music brings us all together and this is proof.
WOW! I am a musician myself! And this simply blessed me in the most amazing way!
BRAVO...... BRAVO.......BRAVO!!!!! What beauty, what joy, excellently done!!!!!!! Thank you, Skip from Michigan!!!!
There’s something really cool about flash mobs. Yes they rehearse it ahead of time but everyone around them has no idea what’s going on. It makes everything stop hustling around and spend just a few moments in the present, experiencing something beautiful with the people around them. I’ve always thought it would be cool to be a part of something like this or even to see it in person. Beautiful!
I'm 72 years old and this had me crying like a baby. The chorus, volunteers had my sides hurting like I had been beat up!
I've heard it at least 100 times since I bought my first set of Beethoven's symphonies in 1969. My reaction is always the same- tears. How ironic that the man whose music has brought so much joy to countless millions had so little of it in his own life. But his gift to humanity will live on forever and can be seen in the faces of the crowd that gathered for this performance.
Music brings us together more than any other form of communication. Thanks you for sharing this!
The little girls mother must have been like - Dear GOD! What have you DONE?!
"Ode to joy" and "Let it be" are the best pieces of music in all times.
Dear Volker, I consider your statement A Message From God because you mentioned Let It Be along with Ode To Joy.
I live in Saratoga Springs, NY and am going to orchestrate a Flash Mob that includes Cannon in D as the melody for Let It Be. Ode To Joy and Happy Birthday To You will be the other 3 songs I hope become thematic during my remains stay here in this fabulous town in Upstate NY.
One person at a time creating the most beautiful symphony and connecting with humanity. Bravo! Let's continue to heal the world...
Je n’ai pu retenir mes larmes devant ce spectacle où toute la beauté de l’humanité s’exprimait, devant mes yeux, même fermés, emportés par cette musique, qui de mes oreilles ébahies, remplissait mon âme. Merci pour ce moment divin.
D'accord
Wie schön doch die Welt war, bevor das Singen und musizieren verboten worden ist. 😢 Dabei war 2018 die Grippewelle enorm stark gewesen. Natürlich, nicht alle Menschen werden Brüder, räusper! Ist diese Welt für immer verloren? Oder war es nur ein Traum? DU entscheidest!
the magic humans can create together when all unite in the moment. almost brings tears of joy.
how cute the girl started on the recorder and then, flash mob for everyone.
one of the things that can make people come together is music. a passion to make us partake and listen.
no matter the genre, a good music will always make people come together. no matter the race, age, nationality.
and it's not just music of course. there are a lot of things we take for granted. simple joys of life that we overlook but can't live without.
❤
There are heroes among us...
Always
Beethoven. The best ever. Move my soul to tears
Music like this breaks down language barriers and attracts all people of different races and cultures. What a great way to bring one and all together. The season is the reason!
Wonderfully performed! Loved the size of the appreciative audience!
It brought tears to my eyes 🥲
Me too.
Absolutely inspiring! ❤
This has to be one of my top 3 favorite performances of this. Beautiful.
this is super adorable, how she's playing her recorder in public and the dude's just vibing with her. he looks like he's been preforming for a while, while the girl's fairly new. i love stuff like this.
We need to follow the lead of this little girl shyly playing her recorder, followed by the celloist, an orchestra, and chorus. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our world could set aside their differences, gather together in peace and harmony to create beautiful music together?
Amazing spontanaiety of the people of Nuremberg joining in song to the Ode to Joy, beginning with a plastic flute, followed by the street bass celloist, an orchestra converging together, so beautifully charming, filling our hearts with joy.
This is truly what music aspires to be , both to the listener as well as to the musicians themselves....SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!
the double bass always sound so haunting but when paired with other instruments it truly is amazing to hear. this was so cool to listen too
I started crying as the Cellist first joined the kid - and till the end of the video - you can understand my condition of emotional outburst.
This is the power of music.
Much love from
Assam, India.
Absolutely beautiful. What an outstanding surprise to have a full orchestra performing this
Amazing. Gave me chills and moved me. We need more moving moments in our lives these days. Thanks for posting this
Sure wish I could stumble upon a flash mob near where I live....these performances are always awesome!
I'm learning this song on the recorder and after practice my flute teacher sent this to me. Astounding. Brilliant.
Thank universe thank you, just what I needed to calm my mind down, I was in verge of giving up after all the hardship am facing...but this has uplifted my Spirit thank you 🙏
Excellent, really excellent! Kudos to the musicians and the videographers
This is the music！
It makes our soul shake.
This was amazing! I instantly felt uplifted. Thank you for that.
Imagine if this ended with the little girl playing that last bit of the melody that would have been great
Absolutely beautiful
Thats so beautiful i everyday cry when watching this beautiful video this bring peace in a human soul
The joy on the listeners faces says it all. And tears on my face because it's beautiful
It’s so amazing how such beautiful music can make most everyone stop from their busy day to just listen. Such a beautiful present to give to all.
Brilliant the world needs more of this.
Ode to Joy was played as my husband and I walked down the aisle after our wedding. He is no longer with us, God rest his soul. This is such an uplifting song, but I now find it a little bittersweet.
I watched my hip/hop loving son cry during the Ode to Joy, then act all hard afterwards like it didn't move him, he knows the truth of great music now
