| Description |
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is the culmination of his symphonic thought, which had developed from the classical First Symphony by evolution and revolution. The inclusion of a chorus in the symphony for the setting of Schiller's Ode to Joy can be traced back to 1793, when Beethoven had first planned to set Schiller's poem to music. Schiller's words, which celebrate the brotherhood and dignity of man, must have appealed greatly to Beethoven, who like Schiller was totally in sympathy with the democratic and revolutionary ideals sweeping Europe at the time. Performed by The Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. |
