Freude, schöner Götterfunken...

The opening words for the chorus to the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. I was so glad to be a part of this. It truly is a masterpiece. Even if you are not a classical musical lover, I suggest you listen to it... you will understand what I mean. I think singing in it made me appreciate it even more. For being deaf for most of his life, he certainly knew how to make it happen. Beethoven, I salute you.
