The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is the final complete symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven. Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best known works of the Western classical repertoire. Among critics, it is universally considered to be among Beethoven's greatest works, and is considered by some to be the greatest piece of music ever written. It has been adapted for use as the European Anthem. The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony (thus making it a choral symphony). The words are sung during the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus. They were taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with additions made by the composer. A sinfonia n.º 9 em ré menor, op. 125, "Coral", é a última sinfonia completa composta por Ludwig van Beethoven. Finalizada em 1824, a Nona Sinfonia é uma das maiores obras conhecidas do repertório ocidental, considerada tanto ícone quanto predecessora da música romântica, e uma das grandes obras-primas de Beethoven. A nona sinfonia de Beethoven incorpora parte do poema An die Freude "Ode à Alegria", escrito por Friedrich Schiller em 1785 e revisado em 1803, com seu texto cantado por solistas e um coro em seu último movimento. Foi o primeiro exemplo de um compositor importante que tenha utilizado a voz humana com o mesmo destaque que a dos instrumentos, numa sinfonia, criando assim uma obra de grande alcance, que deu o tom para a forma sinfônica que viria a ser adotada pelos compositores românticos. Foi executada pela primeira vez no dia 7 de maio de 1824, no Kärntnertortheaterem, em Viena, na Áustria. O regente foi Michael Umlauf, diretor musical do teatro, e Beethoven, dissuadido da regência pelo estágio avançado de sua surdez, teve direito a um lugar especial no palco, junto ao maestro. A sinfonia n.º 9 tem um papel cultural de extrema relevância no mundo atual. Em especial, a música do último movimento, chamado informalmente de "Ode à Alegria", foi rearranjada por Herbert von Karajan para se tornar o hino da União Européia. Outra prova de sua importância na cultura atual foi o valor de 3,3 milhões de dólares atingido pela venda de um dos seus manuscritos originais, feita em 2003 pela Sotheby's, de Londres. Segundo o chefe do departamento de manuscritos da Sotheby's à época, Stephen Roe, a sinfonia "é um dos maiores feitos do homem, ao lado do Hamlet e do Rei Lear de Shakespeare". Poema Ode à Alegria, de Friedrich Schiller, em português: Ó, amigos, mudemos de tom! Entoemos algo mais prazeroso E mais alegre! Alegria, formosa centelha divina, Filha do Elíseo, Ébrios de fogo entramos Em teu santuário celeste! Tua magia volta a unir O que o costume rigorosamente dividiu. Todos os homens se irmanam Ali onde teu doce vôo se detém. Quem já conseguiu o maior tesouro De ser o amigo de um amigo, Quem já conquistou uma mulher amável Rejubile-se conosco! Sim, mesmo se alguém conquistar apenas uma alma, Uma única em todo o mundo. Mas aquele que falhou nisso Que fique chorando sozinho! Alegria bebem todos os seres No seio da Natureza: Todos os bons, todos os maus, Seguem seu rastro de rosas. Ela nos deu beijos e vinho e Um amigo leal até a morte; Deu força para a vida aos mais humildes E ao querubim que se ergue diante de Deus! Alegremente, como seus sóis voem Através do esplêndido espaço celeste Se expressem, irmãos, em seus caminhos, Alegremente como o herói diante da vitória. Abracem-se milhões! Enviem este beijo para todo o mundo! Irmãos, além do céu estrelado Mora um Pai Amado. Milhões, vocês estão ajoelhados diante Dele? Mundo, você percebe seu Criador? Procure-o mais acima do Céu estrelado! Sobre as estrelas onde Ele mora! Saiba mais: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_(Beethoven) Editado por: Ida Monica

Beethoven ~ 9th Symphony, Finale ~ Ode to Joy (Ode à la Joie). Histoire ~ History (Français ~ English): La Symphonie no 9 de Beethoven, op. 125, est une symphonie en ré mineur en quatre mouvements pour grand orchestre, solos et chœur mixte composée par Ludwig van Beethoven, de la fin de 1822 à février 1824 créée à Vienne le 7 mai 18241, et dédiée au roi Frédéric-Guillaume III de Prusse. Son finale (25 minutes environ) est aussi long que la Huitième symphonie tout entière; il introduit des sections chantées sur l'Ode à la joie (Ode an die Freude) de Friedrich von Schiller. Cette œuvre monumentale, en laquelle Richard Wagner voyait « la dernière des symphonies », marqua un tournant décisif dans ce style musical et est souvent considérée comme un grand chef-d'œuvre du répertoire occidental et l'une des plus grandes symphonies et musiques de tous les temps.

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, also known as "the Choral", is the final complete symphony composed from 1822 to 1824 by the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is one of the best-known works in common practice music. The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony (thus making it a choral symphony). The words are sung during the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus. They were taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with text additions made by the composer. The famous choral finale is Beethoven's musical representation of universal brotherhood. The movement has a thematic unity in which every part is based on either the main theme, the "Seid umschlungen" theme, or some combination of the two. The text is largely taken from Schiller's "Ode to Joy", with a few additional introductory words written specifically by Beethoven. Source: Wikipedia
