Beethovens symfoni nr. 9 er meget mere end en symfoni. Den er den ultimative musikalske opfordring til fred og fællesskab på jorden. ”Ode til glæden”, den majestætiske hymne i sidste sats, er kendt over hele verden og sågar udnævnt til EU’s officielle Europa-hymne! Men Beethovens symfoni var noget særligt helt fra begyndelsen – den største og mærkeligste symfoni, man nogensinde havde hørt. Men publikum elskede musikken, og det gør vi stadig. I år fylder symfonien 200 år, og det skal fejres!

“Ode til glæden” er så kendt, at den endda er optaget i Højskolesangbogen, så vi alle kan synge den. Selve symfonien er blevet opført ved store skelsættende begivenheder, som fx Berlinmurens fald. Beethovens manuskript til Symfoni nr. 9 er nu udnævnt til verdensarv.

Men Beethovens symfoni var imidlertid noget særligt helt fra begyndelsen. På trods af at Beethoven var fuldstændig døv, da han komponerede symfonien, formåede han at overgå sig selv. Symfoni nr. 9 er længere end nogen anden symfoni med flere medvirkende end hidtil. I symfonien medvirker et stort kor og fire sangsolister, det havde man aldrig set før. Måden, hvorpå Beethoven forener musikere og sangere til sidst i Friedrich Schillers digt Ode an die Freude – Ode til glæden i ønsket om en bedre verden, er helt unik. Fra at være et abstrakt instrumentalværk bliver symfonien et værk med et budskab.

Symfonien bevæger sig fra mørke til lys. De tre første satser er instrumentale. Kor og solister kommer først ind i den ekstatiske 4. sats, hvor der synges om fællesskab, forsoning og om, hvordan glæden kan være den lille gnist, der skal få os til at ændre verden til det bedre. I Beethovens levetid var verden præget af uroligheder, og for Beethoven selv var det svært at tro på, at man gik mod en bedre fremtid. Men stræbe efter det skulle man. Symfonien blev en gigantsucces. Historien om uropførelsen, som Beethoven selv dirigerede, er legendarisk: Beethoven stod på dirigentpodiet, men musikerne havde aftalt kun at følge kapelmesteren og ikke den døve Beethoven, hvilket betød at de var færdige med værket før Beethoven. En af sangersolisterne måtte hive ham i frakken før han forstod, at symfonien var slut, og at publikum klappede begejstret. Det gør vi stadig, klapper begejstret over musikken og håbet. I år fylder symfonien 200 år, og det skal fejres!

Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is much more than a symphony. It is the ultimate musical call for peace and community on earth. "Ode to joy" , the majestic anthem in the last movement, is known all over the world and even named the EU's official European anthem! But Beethoven's symphony was something special from the very beginning – the grandest and strangest symphony ever heard. But the audience loved the music, and we still do. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the symphony, and it must be celebrated!

"Ode to joy"  is so well known that it is even included in the High School Songbook so that we can all sing it. The symphony itself has been performed at major landmark events, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall. Beethoven's manuscript for Symphony No. 9 has now been designated a world heritage site.

However, Beethoven's symphony was something special from the very beginning. Despite the fact that Beethoven was completely deaf when he composed the symphony, he managed to outdo himself. Symphony No. 9 is longer than any other symphony with more actors than before. The symphony features a large choir and four singing soloists, something that had never been seen before. The way in which Beethoven unites musicians and singers at the end of Friedrich Schiller's poem Ode an die Freude – Ode to the joy in the desire for a better world – is completely unique. From being an abstract instrumental work, the symphony becomes a work with a message.

The symphony moves from darkness to light. The first three movements are instrumental. Choir and soloists only enter the ecstatic 4th movement, where they sing about community, reconciliation and how joy can be the little spark that will make us change the world for the better. During Beethoven's lifetime, the world was characterized by unrest, and for Beethoven himself it was difficult to believe that one was moving towards a better future. But you had to strive for it. The symphony was a huge success. The story of the first performance, which Beethoven himself conducted, is legendary: Beethoven stood on the conductor's podium, but the musicians had agreed to follow only the conductor and not the deaf Beethoven, which meant that they finished the work before Beethoven. One of the singer-soloists had to tug him by the coat before he understood that the symphony was over and that the audience was clapping enthusiastically. We still do, clapping excitedly for the music and the hope. This year marks the 200th anniversary of the symphony, and it must be celebrated!
