Just imagine Schiller and Beethoven learning that people still know the words and the melody. How amazing is that? I am not just a proud German, but I am a proud European. When we stand together, we can achieve such great things!
I've never been to Europe but this is the Europe in my imagination. Ancient buildings, beautiful music and its people. I cannot express myself better in English. Love from China.
My birth city!(: and your english is perfect, unlike most americans whose first language is english! And I'm learning Mandarin currently, among others!(:
@@armytbchaine6515 Parce que les europeens ont du respect pour l'histoire, l'architecture, et tout ca, de leurs pays, pas comme les americains qui se sont fourres avec toute cette demolition et destruction, avec leurs nouvelles boites grises moches...
I'm not European or German, but Ode to Joy brings tears, happiness, the oneness that Beethoven has given us one of his biggest treasures ever. The feeling that the we are world citizens and music has no bounds. Given a chance I'd love to learn German just to sing Ode to Joy.
Ich stimme zu. It also makes me proud and glad to live in Europe. Danke Deutschland for providing both the composer and the music. Germany is in the very heart of Europe and it couldn't exist without you, despite all the tragic history. Love and very high regards from Scandinavia
“Unbelievable that at group of humans with instruments can produce so much emotion. I have trained inside an oven.” Oh wait, trans-European understanding is not great. The song is though, and transcends language.
Ja, damals war virales Marketing noch der heiße Scheiß :-) INzwischen muss man ja mit dem Fallschirm aus der Stratosphäre springen, oder William Shattner ins Weltall jagen. Damals konnte ne Bank noch ein Orchester mieten und 8 Kameramänner ranschaffen, und schon ist man auf der Titelseite der Bild gelandet.
This is absolutely my very favourite among flash mobs - and I have seen plenty. It's Europe at its best, including, joyful and heartwarming! Not the least seeing the audience singing along! "Alle Menschen werden Brüder ..." A goal still worth striving for, 199 years later. I don't know how many times by now I have revisited this clip. Viel Liebe aus Schweden!
I’m from America and this brings tears to my eyes. It’s crazy to think back to all the tragedies (war, hatred, plague, uprisings, starvation) and all the great things (culture, alliances, perseverance, love, peace, togetherness) that’s happened in Europe. There’s truly no other place like it. God bless Europe and the great nations within it ❤️
Can't believe the intense joyful tears this pulls from me. This is the world I want. Thanks to everyone involved in this production. Please don't stop.
Can you imagine that -on warm and relaxing afternoon in summer-, you walk through a plaza in Hamburg and suddenly you see this? Did you notice the people..., respectful, silent, and simply enjoying it? Only God knows how much I would love to be in one of these places, at the right time. Bravo, FRIENDS...!
Well this was in Nürnberg according to the title (I'm from Hamburg) but ye.. This symphony has so much power to it. United so many people and left them astounded at that plaza
@ Badger ... aye, I was noticing that young people were quietly moving in to take a selfie with orchestra behind them, no one interfered, they moved away as quietly as they arrived, the audience grew close yet allowed them a respectful space in which to perform and ... not a policeman, nor an 'organiser' nor 'site security' in sight ? I felt something, I can't explain it, about 'The essential goodness of people when left alone ...' and I wondered, did anyone of the performers or 'live audience' imagine they were part of something that would be viewed (to date) by approaching 18 MILLION people? Thank you Evenord-Bank for putting this here And to those who down thumbed ... I can only wish for you a speedy recovery from whatever it is that ails you!
@Gregory Smith - I feel genuinely sad for you. Tolerance is a mark of sound mental health and you're claiming to have none. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery from whatever ails you.
I lost my German friends mid last year, it still hurts so I'm here to remeber him with the greatest song ever created. 8 years later and I'm still watching the greatest flashmob of all time.
well basically its an EXACT Copy of the Sabadell Flashmob which has been created 3 years before. looks lke the same marketing company who has created it. ua-cam.com/video/GBaHPND2QJg/v-deo.html
The music is written by Beethoven and the lyrics by Schiller and I am so proud that this is the anthem of Europe. It is a masterpiece about the magic of joy, friendship and trust. It says "alle Menschen werden Brüder", meaning all humans will be brothers where there is this kind of magic. That is my deepest wish: let us all be brothers and sisters. Let us heal the world, for the power lies in us.
ja allein nur das Gefühl beim Video schauen ist so klasse.Wer weiß wie das ist wenn man zufällig in einen Flashmob gerät oder aktiv mitmacht.Die Emotionen die das auslöst sind unbeschreiblich.
Oh ja, diese Begeisterung in den Gesichtern der Menschen zu sehen, der Musiker, Sänger und im Publikum, das überkommt einen richtig. Das ist eben etwas ganz anderes, als wenn man einfach eine CD in die Stereoanlage schiebt.
I'm not German, but I truly wish I was when I see stuff like this happening. Germany is such an interesting, yet surprisingly stunning country with amazing culture, people and music.. I love it all! Love, appreciation and all of the best from Brazil!! 💜
That's exactly what the bank's marketing agency thought when they came up with it in the brain storming. It's an advert. It's staged. And badly so. Using this wonderful piece to promote a FUCKING BANK.

I was playing with the 280th Artillary Group Band in Ansbach in1961 ,some of us were invited to participate in the spring music festival in Nuremburg. It turned out to be one of the most amazing things I was ever involved in. There were something like 8,000 people playing at the same time. One main conductor, and six assistant conductors. It still sends chills up my spine thinking about it, man what a day to remember...
I am not a german,neither I can speak German...but see ,I cry everytime I listen to this,this hymn has something in it,something which is meant to be understood by 💓 not by mind.
Aarohi Rana exactly....... usually I can't understand or find the real or true meaning of any song or music but this one stuck my heart. I feel so relaxed and happy after hearing it
The lyrics *are* available in English, lyricstranslate.com/en/ode-die-freude-ode-joy-ode-joy.html-2 The title itself should give you a clue about the feelings it evokes. It's Ode to Joy.
This brings tears in my eyes and smile on my face at the same time. How amazing these people are, so peaceful, enjoying art, children running around. I wish to see the same in my country India some day when everything will be at peace.
A true masterpiece. Not only because of the heavenly misuc but for each and every details of the video: I get back regularly to watch it and I always have tears in my eyes when it's over...

@@zyrionlannister6065 Ich höre gerne und oft Klassik (am liebsten J.S.Bach), obwohl ich im Herzen Rock-Musiker bin. Man sollte Musik nicht in Schubladen einteilen. Wirklich gute Musik berührt einen immer, egal welches Genre. "Music was my first love!"
Es gibt Musik auf dieser Welt, die Dich berührt, wo Du nicht weghören kannst, die Du bis zum Ende hören musst, die Dich bewegt, wo Du mitsingen musst, die deinen Pulsschlag hebt, deine Laune verbessert, Dich lächeln und tanzen läßt. Musik, die dich ergreift. Dieses Stück ist eines davon.
I don't cry when I lose beloved one...but I cry when I hear beethoven works.... Strong against death but weak before your masterpieces beethoven. you made us know how Germany is great.... from Sudan.
Ich "liebe" dich für diese Aussage als meinen Bruder. Du bist wahrlich ein dem europäischen Geist zugehöriger Bruder und Seelenverwandter. - Das heißt: "Alle Menschen werden Brüder!"
Skoro jesteś Chińczykiem to powinieneś wiedzieć ale niestety jesteś za młody i tego nie wiesz, że w przypadku rządów komunistów (które zaczynają zalewać Europę) takie pojęcia jak wolność, równość i braterstwo nie istnieją. Przeczytaj książkę pt. "Ludzka przestarzałość” 1956 Günther Anders
It is a pity that only now I watched this video. That's great! Amazing music and wonderful people! Germany, you are the brain of the planet, you give the whole world so much, so generously: science, philosophy, music, poetry. Please do not forget your national traditions - the world needs it. Please be yourself. With love from Russia.
When this is over, may we never take singing together in the streets for granted. May we never take holding a stranger's hand for granted. May we never take being free to meet, hug, travel for granted. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one visiting this video in these dark times. I can't wait to be able to get on a bus again and ride to Nurnberg, a city I fell in love with the moment I saw it; I can only hope the pandemic crisis will teach more people to appreciate the most precious thing we have, our humanity. Love to all of you from Poland. We're in this together.
After 2 weeks of curfew and quarantine, listening to this heavenly music and seeing so many people singing the anthem brings so much joy and tears. I am very proud of the folks and all of German people.
Ich finde nicht wirklich Worte für meine Gefühle, nur: Tränen fließen und mein Herz hüpft vor FREUDE!!! Danke, Beethoven und Schiller für dieses Meisterwerk! Welch ein Geschenk an die Menschheit, Wow! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Wow - was wäre wenn alle Menschen auf dieser Welt das genauso wahrnehmen würden wie du ??? Das Paradies wäre wieder auf dieser Erde !!! Ich bin zumindest einer davon 😍🙃😉
Deutschland ist eine großartige Nation, wir werden Sie immer lieben und schätzen für das, was Sie für die gesamte Kunstwelt getan haben. Hallo aus Moskau.
@T Werk Leider wird es nicht bald passieren. Zwischen Russland und den Ländern Europas besteht eine große kulturelle Kluft sowie ein Misstrauen gegenübereinander. Damit Sie verstehen, wovon ich rede. Jahrhunderts wurden die Menschen in Russland auf die Literatur von Goethe und Schiller aufgewachsen und bewunderten den Gedanken der Deutschen, aber dann begann der Krieg. Es war auch mit der französischen Kunst vor Napoleons Marsch nach Moskau.Wenn Sie die Russen fragen, warum die Deutschen den Krieg mit Russland begonnen haben, werden Sie immer noch keine klare Antwort finden. Der einheitliche Weg Russlands mit Europa ging auseinander, als die Kommunisten an die Macht kamen und die Literatur von Friedrich Nietzsche verboten. Es scheint so eine Kleinigkeit zu sein, aber es hat eindeutig für uns den ganzen weiteren Verlauf der Ereignisse definiert.
Als Europäer rührt dieses Video, und die Menschen dahinter, einen zu Tränen, und man wird bestätigt dass es in Europa ein wir-gefühl gibt, das im Zeitalter der Globalisierung mehr im Vordergrund steht denn Je. Ich hoffe wir können Europa auch in Zukunft so wahren, so offen, so hilfsbereit, so zusammen, aber am wichtigsten so Friedlich!💙🇪🇺💙
The Channel und nicht nur eureäper, alle Menschen werden Brüder:)) und heute noch mehr als Je! Mach mit weiter, hören und singen, was eben in unseren Möglichkeiten stehe.
That brings a tear to my eye. Music from a great man. Written for the people and to elevate our humanity. Played by musicians who understand the import of what they are playing. And received by the people in joy and humility. Surely God is in his heaven and so is Ludwig.
@ Colin Bryant This was so beautiful, wasn't it? I just discovered another UA-cam channel by someone called Evan Carmichael and he also posts videos of flash mobs. They're really good.
I love the Germans, they're the most wonderful people. I've had the pleasure of working with many of them. There's so much richness here of culture and history. This is among my favorite videos ever. Whomever constructed this was a genius, the framing is almost mythological. Blind (and benevolent) Father Culture waiting for the child to reinvigorate him. He takes her song, plays it back to her, weaves it deeper and deeper, the community joins in, weaving their melodies into hers, and then joining their voices together in triumphant praise of her. This video does Beethoven justice. Ode to joy. Grief and Praise. Grief-joy. All the more poignant for being filmed in Nuremberg, that blood-soaked land, full of hard won beauty. I love it. Genius. Thank you. From one of your British (and European) friends.
Im happy to hear you like Germany. I live in Germany and sadly the people who are around me aren't as nice as the ones you have met. Im glad though you met nice germans as regardless to my experience Germany is still a great country
What a beautiful girl - the one who first started playing. And I am more and more convinced of how easy it is to give people joy, especially with music! Greetings from Russia and respect!
Musik ist die mächtigste Sprache dieser Welt, die alle Menschen zu verbinden weiß. Sie schließt niemanden aus, spaltet nicht. Musik bringt das Schöne, dass in uns Menschen wohnt, ans Licht.

This is why Beethoven is GREAT, he is always present, he is always connecting with us and this will never end. His Heavenly music is a Part of the Paradise .
You are right Samir. It's incredible that Beethoven wrote Ode To Joy when he was deaf. His music is humanity at its best and it lives on in us. I often feel that music like this is what will save us from ourselves.
@@amandajones6481 Hi Amanda , he wasn't only deaf but lonely completely , no social life : that points to a critical question : is social life stop our most important tasks for humanity ? Beethoven suffered along his life from childhood to the end , he would be a criminal against what he faced from his father particularly , but HE was like a god with a quite POWERFUL strength on MUSIC and had the POWER to change Man History : this was from Heaven sure
Such lovely people. The musicians and the audience for being so attentive and giving them their space. Lovely! I would have loved to have heard the actual recording.
LYRICS - English translation: Joy, beautiful sparkle of God, Daughter of Elysium, We enter, fire-drunk, Heavenly, your holy sanctuary. Your magics bind again What custom has strictly parted. (1785 version: What custom's sword has parted.) All men become brothers (1785 version: Beggars become princes' brothers.) Where your tender wing lingers. Chorus Be embraced, millions! This kiss to the entire world! Brothers, above the starry canopy Must a loving Father reside. Who has succeeded in the great attempt To be a friend's friend; Whoever has won a lovely woman Add in his jubilation! Yes, who calls even one soul His own on the earth's sphere! And whoever never could achieve this, Let him steal away crying from this gathering! Chorus Those who occupy the great circle, Pay homage to sympathy! It leads to the stars Where the unknown one reigns. All creatures drink joy At the breasts of nature, All good, all evil Follow her trail of roses. Kisses she gave us, and the vine, A friend, proven in death. Pleasure was given to the worm, And the cherub stands before God. Chorus Do you fall down, you millions? Do you sense the creator, world? Seek him above the starry canopy, Above the stars he must live. Joy is the name of the strong spring In eternal nature. Joy, joy drives the wheels In the great clock of worlds. She lures flowers from the buds, Suns out of the firmament, She rolls spheres in the spaces That the seer's telescope does not know. Chorus Happy, as his suns fly Across Heaven's splendid map, Run, brothers, along your path Joyfully, as a hero to victory. From the fiery mirror of truth She smiles upon the researcher, Towards virtue’s steep hill She guides the endurer’s path. Upon faith’s sunlit mountain One sees her banners in the wind, Through the opening of burst coffins One sees them standing in the chorus of angels. Chorus Endure courageously, millions! Endure for the better world! There above the starry canopy A great God will reward. Gods one cannot repay Beautiful it is, to be like them. Grief and poverty, acquaint yourselves With the joyful ones rejoice. Anger and revenge be forgotten, Our deadly enemy be forgiven, No tears shall he shed No remorse shall gnaw at him Chorus Our debt registers be abolished Reconcile the entire world! Brothers, over the starry canopy God judges, as we judged. Joy bubbles in the cup, In the grape’s golden blood Cannibals drink gentleness The fearful, courage -- Brothers, fly from your perches, When the full cup is passed, Let the foam spray to the heavens This glass to the good spirit Chorus He whom the spirals of stars praise, He whom the seraphim’s hymn glorifies, This glass to the good spirit Above the starry canopy! Courage firm in great suffering, Help there, where innocence weeps, Eternally sworn oaths, Truth towards friend and foe, Mens’ pride before kings’ thrones -- Brothers, even if it costs property and blood, -- The crowns to those who earn them, Defeat to the lying brood! Chorus Close the holy circle tighter, Swear by this golden vine: Remain true to the vows, Swear by the judge above the stars! (The 1803 version ends here; the 1785 version continues with the following.) Escape the tyrants’ chains, Generosity also to the villain, Hope upon the deathbeds, Mercy from the high court! The dead, too, shall live! Brothers, drink and chime in, All sinners shall be forgiven, And hell shall be no more. Chorus A serene departing hour! Sweet sleep in the shroud! Brothers-a mild sentence From the final judge!
Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium Wir betreten feuertrunken Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
This warms the heart. I imagine this is how Beethoven wanted his music to be remembered. True unity in appreciation of the beauty of humanity. Not only Germans but people around the world who have come to cherish this memory of the past. True Freude Alle Menschen werden Brüder
In this poem, Friedrich Schiller describes the ideal of a society with equal rights, who are connected by the bond of joy and friendship. Let us live this noble ideal and further expand the idea in Europe. Pass this ideal on to your children so that they can look into an equal future. I love the cultures in Europe - together we are strong.
I cried as watching this video but because I imagine this happening when everyone is racially homogenous, as no man is born equal. Rather unequal in freedom than equal in slavery. Nature prevails♥
I am from india. I don't understand what they are singing but it is very cool and energetic to listen. One Of The Beautiful Music. Best wishes from INDIA.
Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, Daughter from Elysium, We enter, drunk with fire, Heavenly, thy sanctuary! Your magics join again What custom strictly divided;* All people become brothers,* Where your gentle wing abides. Who has succeeded in the great attempt, To be a friend's friend, Whoever has won a lovely woman, Add his to the jubilation! Indeed, who calls at least one soul Theirs upon this world! And whoever never managed, shall steal himself Weeping away from this union. All creatures drink of joy At nature's breast. Just and unjust Alike taste of her gift; She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine, A tried friend to the end. [Even] the worm has been granted sensuality, And the cherub stands before God! Gladly, as His heavenly bodies fly On their courses through the heavens, Thus, brothers, you should run your race, As a hero going to conquest. You millions, I embrace you. This kiss is for all the world! Brothers, above the starry canopy There must dwell a loving Father. Do you fall in worship, you millions? World, do you know your creator? Seek him in the heavens; Above the stars must He dwell. But they sing it in german.
"Come sing a song of Joy is the most beautiful hymn sung every Christmas. Stunning piece of music ever composed." Find the English version of this music and you will see. Ode to Joy is the name of the song
Es ist si schön, wenn die Musiker und die Sänger mit ihrer Musik zu den Menschen kommen. Es rührt mich sehr an, die Musik zu hören und due Menschen zu sehen, wie sie reagieren und agieren. Es ist als ob die Welt den Atem anhält und das Leben stillsteht. Danke, danke für diesen Beitrag😊 ,,

I'm pretty sure all Europeans who are watching this right now, feel like" oh wow this is why i'm proud to be an european" . We all love Europe because of its diversity, kindness, openness and beauty. Let's work together because we can make so much more for Europe and the whole world when we do it toghether! I will never forget where I'm from and what european values taught me for the rest of my life!
We’re different and in the same time united. Some of my values definitely differentiate from a German or a French citizen. But I’m convinced that in some areas we share exactly the same ideals.
Ich bin tatsächlich zu Tränen gerührt... Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligthum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

This was amazing... can you tell me which is this city/country? and why do you said it is impartant for europe? I could not understand from the language written in this video.
@@shriganesh5572 It is Nürnberg in Germany, known in English as Nuremberg, it is a city famous for many things but mainly known outside Germany as the place where the "Nuremberg trials" were held. In the 1920's and 1930's Nürnberg is where Adolf Hitler would hold Nazi rallies and so after the war it was the city where the allies of world war two held the war crimes trials of those who perpetrated the war. This is not relevant to what you asked (other than the fact you asked where this was) but the first time I watched this video some years ago I found the setting of Nürnberg to be very apt for such a flashmob. As for you asking how this is important for Europe I can only assume that Cheru was referring to the current turmoil in Europe where many nations are seeing a rise in nationalism and European unity is at the lowest it has been for half a century; as any good history book will tell you 'When European nations argue the effects are felt worldwide'.
@@krashd Thank you...for such a complete information. and you are right that in the current situation nationalism is dominating not only in europe but in the whole world. Even though nationalism is good for every country, it should not be at such extreme level that citizens would think that every problem in our country is due to our neighbour/competitor country.
@@shriganesh5572 If nationalism is good for a certain amount or not is mostly a question of how exactly you define "nationalism". (Same goes for "patriotism", which is NOT a synonym.) The most important part of the lyrics here is: "Thy magic reunites those Whom stern custom has parted; All men will become brothers Under thy gentle wing." Remeber: nations weren't made by nature, but by customs. And whatever our nationality is, we all are human. If we keep that in mind, extreme nationalism shouldn't stand a chance.

I felt something, I can't explain it, about 'The essential goodness of people when left alone ...' and I wondered, did anyone of the performers or 'live audience' imagine they were part of something that would be viewed (to date) by approaching 18 MILLION people?
Thank you Evenord-Bank for putting this here
And to those who down thumbed ... I can only wish for you a speedy recovery from whatever it is that ails you!
@Gregory Smith - I feel genuinely sad for you. Tolerance is a mark of sound mental health and you're claiming to have none. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery from whatever ails you.
I lost my German friends mid last year, it still hurts so I'm here to remeber him with the greatest song ever created. 8 years later and I'm still watching the greatest flashmob of all time.
❤❤❤❤😊🎉😊
well basically its an EXACT Copy of the Sabadell Flashmob which has been created 3 years before. looks lke the same marketing company who has created it. ua-cam.com/video/GBaHPND2QJg/v-deo.html

condolences my friend!
Does anybody know which Church this is from? I cannot recognixe it...
Einfach nur wunderschön.
Da sieht man es mal wieder: Musik verbindet alle Menschen.♥
+Yamio Kuroni Schiller hat es gewusst, alle Menschen werden Brüder...
Teilweise nehmen sogar die jungen Menschen ihre Kopfhörer ab, nur um Beethoven zu lauschen 😍
+Hans Müller Wahnsinn...
+Yamio Kuroni nein du ^^
+Hans Müller es gibt noch Hoffnung für die Jugend
The music is written by Beethoven and the lyrics by Schiller and I am so proud that this is the anthem of Europe. It is a masterpiece about the magic of joy, friendship and trust. It says "alle Menschen werden Brüder", meaning all humans will be brothers where there is this kind of magic. That is my deepest wish: let us all be brothers and sisters. Let us heal the world, for the power lies in us.
✌
This could be an anthem for whole humanity.
Well said and it’ll be a glorious day when that becomes reality.
Just ...amazing
Awesome.
It almost brought happy tears to my eyes, I hope Europe will always stick together. Thank you from Greece.
we will! love and greets from a german friend :)

Saliddry... Quiet you wretched parasite!
Schafft es immer wieder mich zum Weinen zu bringen und gibt mir unglaubliche Gänsehaut.
Dieses Stück ist schon etwas ganz, ganz besonderes ❤
Vorallem die Kleine wo einfach anfangt Damit
Ist bei mir genau so und welchen Moment ich in dem Video schön finde, ist als der junge die Kopfhörer abnimmt um sich diese Ereignis anzuhören
Geht mir auch so.
Music is the universal language! No matter what language you speak, music will bring you together! Well done! The hymn of brotherhood, indeed!
Music is fantastick.
Ich weiß nicht wieso, aber mir sind die Tränen gekommen. es ist unglaublich😍
ja allein nur das Gefühl beim Video schauen ist so klasse.Wer weiß wie das ist wenn man zufällig in einen Flashmob gerät oder aktiv mitmacht.Die Emotionen die das auslöst sind unbeschreiblich.
Mir ebenfalls, die Stimmung die dort enstanden ist fehlt mir in der Gesellschaft leider.
Ja, man kann auch aus lauter Freude weinen, das haben die meisten nur noch nicht verstanden...
Uns auch, es ist eines der schönsten Musikstücke und mit soviel Empathie vorgetragen - einfach toll 😊
Oh ja, diese Begeisterung in den Gesichtern der Menschen zu sehen, der Musiker, Sänger und im Publikum, das überkommt einen richtig. Das ist eben etwas ganz anderes, als wenn man einfach eine CD in die Stereoanlage schiebt.
I'm not German, but I truly wish I was when I see stuff like this happening. Germany is such an interesting, yet surprisingly stunning country with amazing culture, people and music.. I love it all! Love, appreciation and all of the best from Brazil!! 💜

I was playing with the 280th Artillary Group Band in Ansbach in1961 ,some of us were invited to participate in the spring music festival in Nuremburg. It turned out to be one of the most amazing things I was ever involved in. There were something like 8,000 people playing at the same time. One main conductor, and six assistant conductors. It still sends chills up my spine thinking about it, man what a day to remember...
i wish it was somehow recorded so we could watch that amazing event :)
Very beautiful!
It brings tears to my eyes!
Thank You from the USA! 🇺🇸

It’s not that easy to translate the lyrics, some German words don’t have an English translation. i hope the tunes translate a little bit by itself
Ode to joy is the greatest piece of art ever created. My eyes are tearing up every time i am listening to it.
I think so, too!!!
I am not a german,neither I can speak German...but see ,I cry everytime I listen to this,this hymn has something in it,something which is meant to be understood by 💓 not by mind.

The lyrics *are* available in English, lyricstranslate.com/en/ode-die-freude-ode-joy-ode-joy.html-2 The title itself should give you a clue about the feelings it evokes. It's Ode to Joy.

@@zyrionlannister6065 Ich höre gerne und oft Klassik (am liebsten J.S.Bach), obwohl ich im Herzen Rock-Musiker bin. Man sollte Musik nicht in Schubladen einteilen. Wirklich gute Musik berührt einen immer, egal welches Genre. "Music was my first love!"
Es gibt Musik auf dieser Welt, die Dich berührt, wo Du nicht weghören kannst, die Du bis zum Ende hören musst, die Dich bewegt, wo Du mitsingen musst, die deinen Pulsschlag hebt, deine Laune verbessert, Dich lächeln und tanzen läßt. Musik, die dich ergreift.
Dieses Stück ist eines davon.
Irgendjemand sagte mal, wessen Seele bei "Ode an die Freude" nicht zur Decke emporsteige, der habe wohl keine :-)
Das hat der Junge bei 2.32min. auch gemerkt 😀
If Beethoven was alive today and saw how beloved his music still is today and played in public squares like this he would be moved to tears of joy
Whats the names of this symphony?
Maybe, he was really moody and ill-tempered in the last phase of his life. I love his music, but his behavior was very questionable.
Especially this song (symphony no.9) was not recognized in his time. It was played less than 10 times when he was alive
As I was! I imagine his spirit flooded with joy.
Yes! sometimes just feel extremely grateful that God give us this German deaf musician!
I don't cry when I lose beloved one...but I cry when I hear beethoven works....
Strong against death but weak before your masterpieces beethoven.

@@MrMP-en7vf Wir haben immer versucht, ein Beispiel von Ihnen zu nehmen
@T Werk Leider wird es nicht bald passieren. Zwischen Russland und den Ländern Europas besteht eine große kulturelle Kluft sowie ein Misstrauen gegenübereinander. Damit Sie verstehen, wovon ich rede. Jahrhunderts wurden die Menschen in Russland auf die Literatur von Goethe und Schiller aufgewachsen und bewunderten den Gedanken der Deutschen, aber dann begann der Krieg. Es war auch mit der französischen Kunst vor Napoleons Marsch nach Moskau.Wenn Sie die Russen fragen, warum die Deutschen den Krieg mit Russland begonnen haben, werden Sie immer noch keine klare Antwort finden. Der einheitliche Weg Russlands mit Europa ging auseinander, als die Kommunisten an die Macht kamen und die Literatur von Friedrich Nietzsche verboten. Es scheint so eine Kleinigkeit zu sein, aber es hat eindeutig für uns den ganzen weiteren Verlauf der Ereignisse definiert.
Das ist so ziemlich das Schönste, was ich bisher auf YT gesehen habe. ... Ganz, ganz toll! 😊👍✊

That brings a tear to my eye. Music from a great man. Written for the people and to elevate our humanity. Played by musicians who understand the import of what they are playing. And received by the people in joy and humility. Surely God is in his heaven and so is Ludwig.

I love the Germans, they're the most wonderful people. I've had the pleasure of working with many of them.
There's so much richness here of culture and history.
This is among my favorite videos ever. Whomever constructed this was a genius, the framing is almost mythological. Blind (and benevolent) Father Culture waiting for the child to reinvigorate him. He takes her song, plays it back to her, weaves it deeper and deeper, the community joins in, weaving their melodies into hers, and then joining their voices together in triumphant praise of her. This video does Beethoven justice. Ode to joy. Grief and Praise. Grief-joy.
All the more poignant for being filmed in Nuremberg, that blood-soaked land, full of hard won beauty.
I love it. Genius. Thank you.

You are sooooo right! Thanks, brother!
You are right Samir. It's incredible that Beethoven wrote Ode To Joy when he was deaf. His music is humanity at its best and it lives on in us. I often feel that music like this is what will save us from ourselves.
@@amandajones6481 Hi Amanda , he wasn't only deaf but lonely completely , no social life : that points to a critical question : is social life stop our most important tasks for humanity ?

LYRICS - English translation:
Joy, beautiful sparkle of God,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter, fire-drunk,
Heavenly, your holy sanctuary.
Your magics bind again
What custom has strictly parted.
(1785 version: What custom's sword has parted.)
All men become brothers
(1785 version: Beggars become princes' brothers.)
Where your tender wing lingers.
Chorus
Be embraced, millions!
This kiss to the entire world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
Must a loving Father reside.
Who has succeeded in the great attempt
To be a friend's friend;
Whoever has won a lovely woman
Add in his jubilation!
Yes, who calls even one soul
His own on the earth's sphere!
And whoever never could achieve this,
Let him steal away crying from this gathering!
Chorus
Those who occupy the great circle,
Pay homage to sympathy!
It leads to the stars
Where the unknown one reigns.
All creatures drink joy
At the breasts of nature,
All good, all evil
Follow her trail of roses.
Kisses she gave us, and the vine,
A friend, proven in death.
Pleasure was given to the worm,
And the cherub stands before God.
Chorus
Do you fall down, you millions?
Do you sense the creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy,
Above the stars he must live.
Joy is the name of the strong spring
In eternal nature.
Joy, joy drives the wheels
In the great clock of worlds.
She lures flowers from the buds,
Suns out of the firmament,
She rolls spheres in the spaces
That the seer's telescope does not know.
Chorus
Happy, as his suns fly
Across Heaven's splendid map,
Run, brothers, along your path
Joyfully, as a hero to victory.
From the fiery mirror of truth
She smiles upon the researcher,
Towards virtue’s steep hill
She guides the endurer’s path.
Upon faith’s sunlit mountain
One sees her banners in the wind,
Through the opening of burst coffins
One sees them standing in the chorus of angels.
Chorus
Endure courageously, millions!
Endure for the better world!
There above the starry canopy
A great God will reward.
Gods one cannot repay
Beautiful it is, to be like them.
Grief and poverty, acquaint yourselves
With the joyful ones rejoice.
Anger and revenge be forgotten,
Our deadly enemy be forgiven,
No tears shall he shed
No remorse shall gnaw at him
Chorus
Our debt registers be abolished
Reconcile the entire world!
Brothers, over the starry canopy
God judges, as we judged.
Joy bubbles in the cup,
In the grape’s golden blood
Cannibals drink gentleness
The fearful, courage --
Brothers, fly from your perches,
When the full cup is passed,
Let the foam spray to the heavens
This glass to the good spirit
Chorus
He whom the spirals of stars praise,
He whom the seraphim’s hymn glorifies,
This glass to the good spirit
Above the starry canopy!
Courage firm in great suffering,
Help there, where innocence weeps,
Eternally sworn oaths,
Truth towards friend and foe,
Mens’ pride before kings’ thrones --
Brothers, even if it costs property and blood, --
The crowns to those who earn them,
Defeat to the lying brood!
Chorus
Close the holy circle tighter,
Swear by this golden vine:
Remain true to the vows,
Swear by the judge above the stars!
(The 1803 version ends here; the 1785 version continues with the following.)
Escape the tyrants’ chains,
Generosity also to the villain,
Hope upon the deathbeds,
Mercy from the high court!
The dead, too, shall live!
Brothers, drink and chime in,
All sinners shall be forgiven,
And hell shall be no more.
Chorus
A serene departing hour!
Sweet sleep in the shroud!
Brothers-a mild sentence
From the final judge!
Ronald Abelilla i was filled with the feel of same..
Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir betreten feuertrunken
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Danke !

In this poem, Friedrich Schiller describes the ideal of a society with equal rights, who are connected by the bond of joy and friendship. Let us live this noble ideal and further expand the idea in Europe. Pass this ideal on to your children so that they can look into an equal future. I love the cultures in Europe - together we are strong.
Wahre Worte
I cried as watching this video but because I imagine this happening when everyone is racially homogenous, as no man is born equal. Rather unequal in freedom than equal in slavery. Nature prevails♥
Strength through joy!
That's not from Friedrich Schiller. It's from Beethoven.

Joy, beautiful spark of divinity,
Daughter from Elysium,
We enter, drunk with fire,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary!
Your magics join again
What custom strictly divided;*
All people become brothers,*
Where your gentle wing abides.
Who has succeeded in the great attempt,
To be a friend's friend,
Whoever has won a lovely woman,
Add his to the jubilation!
Indeed, who calls at least one soul
Theirs upon this world!
And whoever never managed, shall steal himself
Weeping away from this union.
All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,
A tried friend to the end.
[Even] the worm has been granted sensuality,
And the cherub stands before God!
Gladly, as His heavenly bodies fly
On their courses through the heavens,
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.
You millions, I embrace you.
This kiss is for all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions?
World, do you know your creator?
Seek him in the heavens;
Above the stars must He dwell.
But they sing it in german.
and wishes from europe back
It is the Anthem of Europe :) Best song. It is so realxing to listen.

Please stay in Britan. Britain needs people like you!
@@Mostrichkugel I am half-Irish so i am trying to get an Irish passport so i can still have free movement to Europe.
@@TheQuigs89 Good idea. Do go on about that, but I believe they are queuing in Dublin for it.
@@pavelwohlmuth5115 I’ve had enough my friend. The insane people have taken control of the insane hospital.
Music can do that not even politicians can: gather hundred people and make them feel true emotions. Thanks for sharing! It's beautiful! Beethoven for ever!
Willkommen in Europa... Wie schön ist das Lied..... Freude schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium...... Sehr schön... Grüße aus den Niederlande
Ich bin japanisch und lerne deutsch jetzt.
Sometimes, I face big obstacles and try to give up studying German. But this video makes me remember the reason why I began studying.
Viele dank aus Japan!
🫶🏻❤️
Anything so beautiful it can make a child take his headphones off and listen in todays world is a true masterpiece for the ages.
They didn’t show him immediately putting them back on after the camera panned
I'm pretty sure all Europeans who are watching this right now, feel like" oh wow this is why i'm proud to be an european" . We all love Europe because of its diversity, kindness, openness and beauty. Let's work together because we can make so much more for Europe and the whole world when we do it toghether! I will never forget where I'm from and what european values taught me for the rest of my life!
We’re different and in the same time united. Some of my values definitely differentiate from a German or a French citizen. But I’m convinced that in some areas we share exactly the same ideals.
Although I am not European or live in an European country, I'd like you to know I admire everything about you.
I'm Asian but I don't discriminate, everyone is the best!!
Am Asian people and love this song as well
And why you’re writing this, people are suffering and dying on european borders :)
Ich bin tatsächlich zu Tränen gerührt...
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligthum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Stimmt.
Kannst Du mich abonierren. Mein Kanal heißt #SamMasterful.
天皇陛下万歳！
Nur frage ich mich, warum so viele die restlichen drei Strophen auslassen :(
Deutscland über alles
"Alle Menschen werden Brüder wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt" ! Wunderschöne Ode an die Freude ! Vielen Dank !!
October, 2018......December, 2018... February, 2019...Someone liked my post, So...I watched and cried and again... lol !!
I cried, literally; with tears of Joy, while watching this...To see the expression on the crowd, TO HEAR the Chorale !!! Fantastische... Danke Sehr !! The PRIDE displayed by - I HAVE to believe - Were those just lucky to be there. And joining in !!!
I teared too
You ain't the only one, believe me.
@@deejs8652 It also brought tears to my eyes when the chorale began. This is so beautiful!
Had I been there I would have been singing along. How could one not.
How wonderful was that! From the lovely young girls flawless recorder playing to that guy putting something "in the hat" ha ha, makes you glad to be alive
Who "dislikes" this??? C'mon...
I've got chills... Watching Jan. 1, 2020... Awesome!
天皇陛下万歳！
I was just thinking the same. What is wrong with over 5k people giving this a thumbs down?
Some grumpy british guys
Xenophobic pieces of trash who are afraid of other people’s cultures.
People against the EU I guess
This is the kind of event that makes us really proud to be European regardless our citizenship
Long live Europe, we are indeed united in diversity !
Yup U got thar right. Every time I play this, it still gives me goosebumps
european diversity , like always been
Yup, fully agree.
lol
i hope you remember that once the music stops
Brilliant! One of the most, if not the most, spectacular pieces of music ever written in world history. Thank you for an excellent and enjoyable performance of this astonishing masterwork!
Damn this makes me miss my home.... much love to Germany 🇩🇪 from Canada 🇨🇦
Pay attention to the small children, how calm and interested they listen, no baby cries or fidgets.
These tones are BEAUTIFUL !
These children are the descendants of the culture that made Beethoven. It is especially touching to watch!
I'm from India 🇮🇳.
We love this concept. Congrats
Listening to everyone come together to sing this song gives me goosebumps everytime. Greetings from South Side Chicago, in America!
Hello "Good America"! Yeah man, I always felt that this is some kind of gospel-song
Greetings to the U. S. A. Please learn from this shity immigrant situation in Europe, don't let it happen to you too!
@@user-kh5lg6eq7e uhhhh, i dont know what youre talking about but we have hordes of thousands of illegald coming right through the porous southern border. Have you been living under a rock?
@@mortor9730 we need to fix this, bro! Europe is on a dangerous path and your politicians hate its own citizens. it must stop before its too late :( before Europe become another shitty middle east
Whenever I listen to this song I get tears of joy though I can't understand a single word .
Love from India ♥️
Same..but i dont even know how i get tears!
I'm blinking away the tears as well......and the words start ( in English ) "Oh Joy, thou wondrous spark of God..." which shouldn't perhaps arouse such emotion in a total non-believer in anything "supernatural" but it does.
@pumpkin head @japeking1
Hey guys happy to see you
Beethoven is always living in this masterpiece 😭😭♥️♥️♥️
No one has composed like him
It's been 195 years and this masterpiece will live forever ♥️♥️
@@bksurez1439 just Google The Following:
"Lyrics to Ode to die Freude" and scroll down to both Wikipedia (poem) and lyricstranslate.com. The second listing translates the song into English.
Please leave me a comment, or at least a thumbs up. Thanks.😎😎👌👌

The same here:-)
Me too, me too. 🥰😭🥰

@@Kairat1969 what the hell is wrong with you? do you have a decency deficiency? an intelligence deficiency? suffering frm know-nothing asshole-ism? or are you jst a lame-ass Russian troll with no soul?
Its all of the above, right?!
Yeah, that's it. 🤨🙄😠
Bellissimo sentire il coro soprani intonare prima l'ottava sotto, per poi fare sentire l'esplosione dopo....... Grande il finale 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love the symbolism of music gradually uniting different people. This is so important for Europe.
This was amazing... can you tell me which is this city/country? and why do you said it is impartant for europe?
I could not understand from the language written in this video.
@@shriganesh5572 It is Nürnberg in Germany, known in English as Nuremberg, it is a city famous for many things but mainly known outside Germany as the place where the "Nuremberg trials" were held. In the 1920's and 1930's Nürnberg is where Adolf Hitler would hold Nazi rallies and so after the war it was the city where the allies of world war two held the war crimes trials of those who perpetrated the war.
This is not relevant to what you asked (other than the fact you asked where this was) but the first time I watched this video some years ago I found the setting of Nürnberg to be very apt for such a flashmob.
As for you asking how this is important for Europe I can only assume that Cheru was referring to the current turmoil in Europe where many nations are seeing a rise in nationalism and European unity is at the lowest it has been for half a century; as any good history book will tell you 'When European nations argue the effects are felt worldwide'.
@@krashd Thank you...for such a complete information.
and you are right that in the current situation nationalism is dominating not only in europe but in the whole world. Even though nationalism is good for every country, it should not be at such extreme level that citizens would think that every problem in our country is due to our neighbour/competitor country.
Shri Ganesh it is the european union’s anthem
@@shriganesh5572 If nationalism is good for a certain amount or not is mostly a question of how exactly you define "nationalism". (Same goes for "patriotism", which is NOT a synonym.)
The most important part of the lyrics here is:
"Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing."
Remeber: nations weren't made by nature, but by customs. And whatever our nationality is, we all are human.
If we keep that in mind, extreme nationalism shouldn't stand a chance.
And for 6 minutes and 31 seconds everything was okay
Lovely words stranger☺
Hi
