Ludwig van Beethoven
Written in C major, range C4 to G4
Schiller’s poem celebrates joy as the force that makes all people brothers, and Beethoven gave it a tune simple enough for anyone to sing along. He finished his Ninth Symphony, which ends with this tune, in 1824, when he was almost completely deaf.
