Christmas With The Tabernacle Choir

An die Freude (Ode to Joy) excerpts from Symphony No. 9

Independent of its original 1824 symphonic setting, Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” has become an anthem of rejoicing, a call to replace division and confrontation with love, unity, and understanding. In this finale, performed by The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra, the melody—an intentionally simple, folksy tune—is transformed through a series of variations into a climactic tour de force.
