Und das ist gut so !!!! Ohne Musik würde uns so viel Ausdruck der Gefühle fehlen ......... Ich darf es ja nicht schreiben , ich bin mir auch nicht sicher ........ Aber ist unter den Taliban , Musik verboten ??? Das wäre eine Tragödie für diese ehemalige Hochkultur !!! Musik 🎶 will nie etwas schlechtes , sondern nur die Menschen verbinden und erfreuen !!!
I'm a grown man of 58...been through more hell and grief than I can hardly bear, yet this video of joy and love opened up the floodgates of tears that I couldn't control....
"This should be one of humanity's anthems!" It really should be! And it should not be abused anymore by EU politicians! Let it become the anthem of all people that want to be united in peace Wherever they come from or whoever they may be!
I live in Mississippi,USA. I’m 57yrs old. I first saw this video about six months ago. When I saw it , it made me think that if everyone on earth came together in harmony like this group of very diverse and talented musicians,if for just one day, can you imagine how much of a impact it would have on basically everything.. where I live,at the moment,our lives are fixing to be in a total uproar. We are being flooded with refugees from all over the earth. Also we are poisoned with corrupt politicians,and greedy big businesses ,and our street crimes are fixing to skyrocket. I had to look up this video to have my little fantasy one more time. I read some of the comments and realized it affected lots of people from all around the world,just like it did for me. God bless and keep all of you and your loved ones, now and all the days we have left.
There is nothing that brings people together more than song. As my son was growing up here in Montreal CA. we would travel around by the metro system and it would always be a highlight of the day if there were a musician preforming, something we would always stop and watch.
The story is that when “Ode to Joy” was first performed, the Great Master was watching but was totally deaf. He was watching the choir and had to be gently turned around to see the wild applause that greeted his greatest masterpiece.
The little girl wasn't "surprised", she was part of the act. But what a way to bring in such a wonderful rendition of "Ode to Joy". It truly is one of those pieces that always make you feel good.
I just thought it was *REALLY* convenient that she played a song the whole orchestra and chorus was prepared to play at the drop of a dime... /s was coming here to say the same thing. She was part of the performance.
Humans are meant to come together and do amazing things. Not destroy eachother. I cried watching this and I didn't even notice the tears on my face until I felt a drop hit my lap.
Good morning Troy, I am assuming you are a male as per your name - all I can say is that you are a "real" and complete man and human being as evidenced by your admission and true ability to simply cry. I'm very serious - I think the majority of males are actually embarrassed to weep. So sad but true. As a male I have no difficulties whatsoever with shedding tears when appropriate or not. God bless 'ya and all the best to you and yours, Terry
We need much more of this. People coming together for the love of music, art, street plays, whatever it may be. No worry about nationality, religion, color or even age. Play for love and togetherness. 😃😃👋👋💖💖
Really ! Ja ! Wir brauchen mehr davon - mehr Musik - die Musik bringt die Menschen zusammen und stimmt sie fröhlich und friedlich. Wie schön, dass es die Musik gibt und Menschen, die sie anderen Menschen zum Geschenk machen.
I once heard a little six year girl in kindergarten playing the Ode to Joy melody on a little xylophone, and playing it correctly. I ran around the corner to find out who was playing and nearly cried it was such a beautiful sight. When I walked in on her practicing she was shy and stopped. But the beauty of a child playing Ode to Joy all on their own will always warm my heart.
Das war 2014! Und es war vor dem Sündenfall dem Islam in unserem Land Tür und Tor zu öffnen! Wie wohltuend all die Menschen zu sehen ohne diese ganzen herumlungernden jungen Moslems die diese Kultur hassen und sich nicht mit Christen verbrüdern wollen!

Because men start to Lose Testosterone at age 30❓️ All kidding aside, the "Ode To Joy" is a fun piece, but the only piece of music I can Not listen to in Public is "I Vow To Thee My Country". I lose my normally Stoic composure Every time.
I have seen this before, but it still brought tears to my eyes, and even though I know that this was not spontaneous, this had to all be staged, by the end I still have tears running down my cheeks. Ludwig van Beethoven would have loved to have known that two centuries later, his music still moves people to tears and inspires millions, filling our hearts with joy. Side note: Beethoven was the first major composer to use the human voice as an instrument within a symphony. Utilizing an orchestra bigger than any other at the time, and with a length of well over an hour, longer than any other symphonic work, Beethoven's 9th Symphony was a major turning point in the history of music. Beethoven inspired composers to begin breaking the "rules of composition", and to begin exploring the use of different instruments, unconventional orchestration, large assemblies, and to incorporate deep, extreme emotion in music that would soar to great heights. Music would never be the same. During World War I, German POWs introduced Beethoven to their Japanese captors, and Japanese orchestras began to perform his works. After World War II, Japanese orchestras began performing Beethoven's 9th symphony, hoping to bring in enough paying audience members to help fund rebuilding and reconstruction of the nation. Since then, it has become a Japanese tradition to perform Beethoven's 9th Symphony at the end of every year. On Christmas Day 1989, conductor Leonard Bernstein conducted a performance to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Iyt was staged but most of the people were just there, it was one of those flash mobs, there's one in the USA that does things like this in random places and it's very cool because the people just walking around, shopping, or whatever had no clue and then all of a sudden the event happens and you can tell people that werent in on the act are totally taken by surprise
Now that is really cool, the bit about the POWs! I think I remember that the Ninth was composed after Beethoven started to go deaf? A true masterpiece!
That moment where the mother and child are dancing to the music. The way everybody, no matter their language or background, all stop and can appreciate the beauty of music. I imagine Beethoven looking down from above with a tear in his eye
As a viola player in orcherstras over the years, I had come across a beautiful saying: 'Music is prayer without words.' There are other versions, but I prefer this one. And it was found on the front of a German opera house. I LOVE IT!❤ God bless you
@@betula-pendula well I would like to but I'm not in any way sure how one goes about that. Do you have any info to contribute to making such a thing hapen?
Please, look at "Metadon", given in smallest dosis parallel to chemo. Inform you, it's fact you will have a much higher chance of complete healing. Don't jugde to quickly because it's for adicted people. Sorry für my bad english...
Which only shows that classical music transcends generations and will still remain forever. It is the duty of the older generation to teach to the next generation the beauty and magic of the classics.
Ich habe das unendlich oft angeschaut und es bewegt mich immer wieder. Gerade in unseren Tagen ist diese Ode an die Freude, dringender und aktueller und notwendiger denn je!
Ich habe dieses Video vor einigen Jahren schonmal gesehen und bin davon tief beeindruckt. Man kann aus den Gesichtern der Musiker und der Passanten richtig helle Freude ablesen. Gerade das ist es, was wir heute so dringend brauchen. Die Menschen könnten so glücklich sein, wenn, ja wenn die großen Politiker anders handeln würden! Ein besonderes Lob möchte ich dem kleinen Mädchen für ihren Mut aussprechen. Alle Achtung! Nur dass sich während die Musiker spielen, keiner um sie kümmert und sie etwas unbeholfen dasteht. ❤❤
Not all flash mobs are exciting, but those with music always give me goose bumps. The best part for me is the fun all the musicians have while playing, something they can't show in a concert. Heartwarming. ❤️
Ode to Joy is right! People gathering together to produce something so beautiful and emotionally connective just proves that music is a truly binding force in the universe. This brought youthful tears to my eyes.
I've seen flash mob singing and dancing, but, not an orchestra! It's Simply Amazing! I bet she studies music and becomes part of one when she's older!!❤❤
Every time I see one of these starting to happen I get so choked up! Something about seeing all these talented people gathering together to make beautiful music really gets to me.
Does anyone else cry uncontrollably at this? Every single time, it unleashes some euphoric, beautiful, sad, triumphant joy. I didn't know these emotions were still in me.
There's no more fitting name to any song than Ode to Joy. The name doesn't even describe the song but rather the emotion you feel while listening to the song. Perfection.
Dear Volker, I consider your statement A Message From God because you mentioned Let It Be along with Ode To Joy. I live in Saratoga Springs, NY and am going to orchestrate a Flash Mob that includes Cannon in D as the melody for Let It Be. Ode To Joy and Happy Birthday To You will be the other 3 songs I hope become thematic during my remains stay here in this fabulous town in Upstate NY.
This makes me wish we lived in a world where this was the rule and not the exception. it looks like some of the crowd know the lyrics to the song which is a beautiful thing.
@@somnorthport1560 how long have rap and hip hop been around, 20 maybe 30 years? Well, the Romantic movement was around for just a century or two so... WHATS REAL AND RELEVANT NOW BEYOTCH?!?!
Salieri gets a bad rap as the man supposedly jealous of Mozart, yet in teaching Beethoven he inspired the most incredible music. It was Salieri who taught Beethoven how to weave voice into orchestra. He taught him expressiveness and rhythm. Salieri also taught Schubert and Liszt. The greatness of a teacher lies in the way he encourages talent to soar. In Ode To Joy I hear so much of how successful Salieri was when Beethoven learned to soar. It is music that goes way beyond mere talent into something magical.
@@DanBeech-ht7sw It is true that Mozart can be said to be another of Salieri's pupils, although probably not in any formal sense. Since Salieri commonly wrote operas in multiple languages, it may have been Salieri's inspiration that caused Mozart to want to write opera in German. Salieri was by far the most popular composer of the two during Mozart's lifetime, and it seems they had a great deal of professional respect between them. The depiction in the movie of Salieri as a jealous and resentful man of little talent is pure fiction. The whole story of Salieri poisoning Mozart was malicious gossip and Mozart's death was not consistent with poisoning. He was described as having small bumps on his skin, and he had been weakened by exessive blood-letting the night before he died. His skull, which survives shows signs of fractures from several falls which he had experienced in the previous three years, and it is thought that it is likely that these caused a subdural hematoma. It should also be noted that Mozart had suffered from several serious diseases during his short life, including pneumonia, bronchitis, typhoid fever, rheumatism, and chronic gum disease, the combination of which would have weakened him, and there have been suggestions that rheumatic fever may have also played a role in his death. There could have been multiple factors involved, and the blood letting may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The scuttlebutt about poisoning Mozart greatly affected Salieri, and he subsequently suffered from depression and multiple nervous breakdowns which would account for the decline in his career at that time. However the conspiracy theories surrounding Mozart's death has meant that the public has connected Salieri and Mozart in a way that is not supported by the facts, and Salieri fails to get his deserved recognition for his positive contributions to the creative output of so many great composers that were to follow.
I’m trying to imagine how I’d have felt having this happen whilst I’d simply wandered into the square. Moving to watch in video, it must have been incredibly emotional to be present. What a beautiful gift from the little girl and her friends in the orchestra.
Music like this is life changing. Passion like this has a weight to it and I’ve been moved to tears. I love the smiles and fun of it all. I hope she remembers that for the rest of her life.
Amazing spontanaiety of the people of Nuremberg joining in song to the Ode to Joy, beginning with a plastic flute, followed by the street bass celloist, an orchestra converging together, so beautifully charming, filling our hearts with joy.
That was absolutely beautiful.

The story is that when “Ode to Joy” was first performed, the Great Master was watching but was totally deaf. He was watching the choir and had to be gently turned around to see the wild applause that greeted his greatest masterpiece.
Wasnt it also told that he got several standing ovations, even?
Yeah... Beethoven....you said it like it's a mystery who wrote it

Sometimes it's nice to not state the obvious and just enjoy watching the always building performance.
@@talosray still such a beautiful version of this song. You can hear the love they have for their craft and the passion they have for it

I do
Me too. This piece by Beethoven never gets tiring to listen too.
Love it when they finally get together and the choir comes in strong!
Definitely
Yes, I'm becoming obsessed with these videos
Humans are meant to come together and do amazing things. Not destroy eachother.
I cried watching this and I didn't even notice the tears on my face until I felt a drop hit my lap.

The one thing that flash mob teaches us is that different as we are like instruments, if we come other we will live in a better world.
The musicians and the people are all so happy. Just look at the smiles. Thanks for sharing. From Kentucky
It is an "Ode to Joy" and it shows.
This is the music！
It makes our soul shake.
The purpose of music is to enjoy and give joy to others. These wonderful musicians did it
Always wonderful ❤️
That Beethoven, he knew a thing or two about glorious music didn't he? What a privilege to witness this live!
He can’t be that good since he hasn’t made a new music in almost 200 years.

There could have been multiple factors involved, and the blood letting may have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
The scuttlebutt about poisoning Mozart greatly affected Salieri, and he subsequently suffered from depression and multiple nervous breakdowns which would account for the decline in his career at that time. However the conspiracy theories surrounding Mozart's death has meant that the public has connected Salieri and Mozart in a way that is not supported by the facts, and Salieri fails to get his deserved recognition for his positive contributions to the creative output of so many great composers that were to follow.
BRAVO
WOW!!!
There are heroes among us...
Always
I'm 72 years old and this had me crying like a baby. The chorus, volunteers had my sides hurting like I had been beat up!
Music is one of our true international achievements. It can be appreciated everywhere, and knows no boundaries.
It is a cracking tune.
dude that was amazing :)
It brought tears to my eyes 🥲
Me too.
The best part is when the little boy took off the headphones to listen. Beautiful moment! Thanks for sharing!❤
Yes, yes, yes🙏
The world really needs more of such "flashmobs".
Da wäre ich gern dabei gewesen. Schade. Warum finden derartige Flashmops nie dort statt, wo ich gerade bin .. 😢
Awesome!

Music brings us together more than any other form of communication. Thanks you for sharing this!
Absolutely beautiful
I’m trying to imagine how I’d have felt having this happen whilst I’d simply wandered into the square. Moving to watch in video, it must have been incredibly emotional to be present. What a beautiful gift from the little girl and her friends in the orchestra.
Danke kleine Lady ! 💋
These Nuremberg folks played and sang beautifully. I do hope I get to be present for a flash mob one of these days…
Music like this is life changing. Passion like this has a weight to it and I’ve been moved to tears. I love the smiles and fun of it all. I hope she remembers that for the rest of her life.
Music brings us all together and this is proof.
She will never, ever firget this, lucky girl, LOVE the music!❤
Amazing spontanaiety of the people of Nuremberg joining in song to the Ode to Joy, beginning with a plastic flute, followed by the street bass celloist, an orchestra converging together, so beautifully charming, filling our hearts with joy.
The greatest orchestra in the world, preforming in a square. Because of one little girl who dared. Absolutely beautiful ❤
Sure wish I could stumble upon a flash mob near where I live....these performances are always awesome!
Absolutely inspiring! ❤
Quand j'étais jeune, on nous apprenais la flute au collège, et quelle joie aurais je eu d'entendre ca a l'instant...
C'est monstrueux d'intensité.
just wonderful
This is what our world is capable of, if we choose.
Amen!
Agreed. But unfortunately there are many of us who choose disharmony over harmony of humanity.
