I'm not European or German, but Ode to Joy brings tears, happiness, the oneness that Beethoven has given us one of his biggest treasures ever. The feeling that the we are world citizens and music has no bounds. Given a chance I'd love to learn German just to sing Ode to Joy.
I lost my German friends mid last year, it still hurts so I'm here to remeber him with the greatest song ever created. 8 years later and I'm still watching the greatest flashmob of all time.
well basically its an EXACT Copy of the Sabadell Flashmob which has been created 3 years before. looks lke the same marketing company who has created it. th-cam.com/video/GBaHPND2QJg/w-d-xo.html
The music is written by Beethoven and the lyrics by Schiller and I am so proud that this is the anthem of Europe. It is a masterpiece about the magic of joy, friendship and trust. It says "alle Menschen werden Brüder", meaning all humans will be brothers where there is this kind of magic. That is my deepest wish: let us all be brothers and sisters. Let us heal the world, for the power lies in us.
Can you imagine that -on warm and relaxing afternoon in summer-, you walk through a plaza in Hamburg and suddenly you see this? Did you notice the people..., respectful, silent, and simply enjoying it? Only God knows how much I would love to be in one of these places, at the right time. Bravo, FRIENDS...!
Well this was in Nürnberg according to the title (I'm from Hamburg) but ye.. This symphony has so much power to it. United so many people and left them astounded at that plaza
@ Badger ... aye, I was noticing that young people were quietly moving in to take a selfie with orchestra behind them, no one interfered, they moved away as quietly as they arrived, the audience grew close yet allowed them a respectful space in which to perform and ... not a policeman, nor an 'organiser' nor 'site security' in sight ? I felt something, I can't explain it, about 'The essential goodness of people when left alone ...' and I wondered, did anyone of the performers or 'live audience' imagine they were part of something that would be viewed (to date) by approaching 18 MILLION people? Thank you Evenord-Bank for putting this here And to those who down thumbed ... I can only wish for you a speedy recovery from whatever it is that ails you!

I’m from America and this brings tears to my eyes. It’s crazy to think back to all the tragedies (war, hatred, plague, uprisings, starvation) and all the great things (culture, alliances, perseverance, love, peace, togetherness) that’s happened in Europe. There’s truly no other place like it. God bless Europe and the great nations within it ❤️
Ich stimme zu. It also makes me proud and glad to live in Europe. Danke Deutschland for providing both the composer and the music. Germany is in the very heart of Europe and it couldn't exist without you, despite all the tragic history. Love and very high regards from Scandinavia
“Unbelievable that at group of humans with instruments can produce so much emotion. I have trained inside an oven.” Oh wait, trans-European understanding is not great. The song is though, and transcends language.
Ja, damals war virales Marketing noch der heiße Scheiß :-) INzwischen muss man ja mit dem Fallschirm aus der Stratosphäre springen, oder William Shattner ins Weltall jagen.

This is absolutely my very favourite among flash mobs - and I have seen plenty. It's Europe at its best, including, joyful and heartwarming! Not the least seeing the audience singing along! "Alle Menschen werden Brüder ..." A goal still worth striving for, 199 years later. I don't know how many times by now I have revisited this clip. Viel Liebe aus Schweden!

I was playing with the 280th Artillary Group Band in Ansbach in1961 ,some of us were invited to participate in the spring music festival in Nuremburg. It turned out to be one of the most amazing things I was ever involved in. There were something like 8,000 people playing at the same time. One main conductor, and six assistant conductors. It still sends chills up my spine thinking about it, man what a day to remember...

The lyrics *are* available in English, lyricstranslate.com/en/ode-die-freude-ode-joy-ode-joy.html-2 The title itself should give you a clue about the feelings it evokes. It's Ode to Joy.
Can't believe the intense joyful tears this pulls from me. This is the world I want. Thanks to everyone involved in this production. Please don't stop.
Es gibt Musik auf dieser Welt, die Dich berührt, wo Du nicht weghören kannst, die Du bis zum Ende hören musst, die Dich bewegt, wo Du mitsingen musst, die deinen Pulsschlag hebt, deine Laune verbessert, Dich lächeln und tanzen läßt. Musik, die dich ergreift. Dieses Stück ist eines davon.
Als Europäer rührt dieses Video, und die Menschen dahinter, einen zu Tränen, und man wird bestätigt dass es in Europa ein wir-gefühl gibt, das im Zeitalter der Globalisierung mehr im Vordergrund steht denn Je. Ich hoffe wir können Europa auch in Zukunft so wahren, so offen, so hilfsbereit, so zusammen, aber am wichtigsten so Friedlich!💙🇪🇺💙

I'm not German, but I truly wish I was when I see stuff like this happening. Germany is such an interesting, yet surprisingly stunning country with amazing culture, people and music.. I love it all! Love, appreciation and all of the best from Brazil!! 💜
I'm pretty sure all Europeans who are watching this right now, feel like" oh wow this is why i'm proud to be an european" . We all love Europe because of its diversity, kindness, openness and beauty. Let's work together because we can make so much more for Europe and the whole world when we do it toghether! I will never forget where I'm from and what european values taught me for the rest of my life!
We’re different and in the same time united. Some of my values definitely differentiate from a German or a French citizen. But I’m convinced that in some areas we share exactly the same ideals.
This brings tears in my eyes and smile on my face at the same time. How amazing these people are, so peaceful, enjoying art, children running around. I wish to see the same in my country India some day when everything will be at peace.
Deutschland ist eine großartige Nation, wir werden Sie immer lieben und schätzen für das, was Sie für die gesamte Kunstwelt getan haben. Hallo aus Moskau.
@T Werk Leider wird es nicht bald passieren. Zwischen Russland und den Ländern Europas besteht eine große kulturelle Kluft sowie ein Misstrauen gegenübereinander. Damit Sie verstehen, wovon ich rede. Jahrhunderts wurden die Menschen in Russland auf die Literatur von Goethe und Schiller aufgewachsen und bewunderten den Gedanken der Deutschen, aber dann begann der Krieg. Es war auch mit der französischen Kunst vor Napoleons Marsch nach Moskau.Wenn Sie die Russen fragen, warum die Deutschen den Krieg mit Russland begonnen haben, werden Sie immer noch keine klare Antwort finden. Der einheitliche Weg Russlands mit Europa ging auseinander, als die Kommunisten an die Macht kamen und die Literatur von Friedrich Nietzsche verboten. Es scheint so eine Kleinigkeit zu sein, aber es hat eindeutig für uns den ganzen weiteren Verlauf der Ereignisse definiert.
This is why Beethoven is GREAT, he is always present, he is always connecting with us and this will never end. His Heavenly music is a Part of the Paradise .
You are right Samir. It's incredible that Beethoven wrote Ode To Joy when he was deaf. His music is humanity at its best and it lives on in us. I often feel that music like this is what will save us from ourselves.
@@amandajones6481 Hi Amanda , he wasn't only deaf but lonely completely , no social life : that points to a critical question : is social life stop our most important tasks for humanity ? Beethoven suffered along his life from childhood to the end , he would be a criminal against what he faced from his father particularly , but HE was like a god with a quite POWERFUL strength on MUSIC and had the POWER to change Man History : this was from Heaven sure
When this is over, may we never take singing together in the streets for granted. May we never take holding a stranger's hand for granted. May we never take being free to meet, hug, travel for granted. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one visiting this video in these dark times. I can't wait to be able to get on a bus again and ride to Nurnberg, a city I fell in love with the moment I saw it; I can only hope the pandemic crisis will teach more people to appreciate the most precious thing we have, our humanity. Love to all of you from Poland. We're in this together.

It is a pity that only now I watched this video. That's great! Amazing music and wonderful people!

A toast " The Essential Goodness of Most of Mankind...'
I love the Germans, they're the most wonderful people. I've had the pleasure of working with many of them. There's so much richness here of culture and history. This is among my favorite videos ever. Whomever constructed this was a genius, the framing is almost mythological. Blind (and benevolent) Father Culture waiting for the child to reinvigorate him. He takes her song, plays it back to her, weaves it deeper and deeper, the community joins in, weaving their melodies into hers, and then joining their voices together in triumphant praise of her. This video does Beethoven justice. Ode to joy. Grief and Praise. Grief-joy. All the more poignant for being filmed in Nuremberg, that blood-soaked land, full of hard won beauty. I love it. Genius. Thank you. From one of your British (and European) friends.
Im happy to hear you like Germany. I live in Germany and sadly the people who are around me aren't as nice as the ones you have met. Im glad though you met nice germans as regardless to my experience Germany is still a great country
In this poem, Friedrich Schiller describes the ideal of a society with equal rights, who are connected by the bond of joy and friendship. Let us live this noble ideal and further expand the idea in Europe. Pass this ideal on to your children so that they can look into an equal future. I love the cultures in Europe - together we are strong.
I cried as watching this video but because I imagine this happening when everyone is racially homogenous, as no man is born equal. Rather unequal in freedom than equal in slavery. Nature prevails♥

Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, Daughter from Elysium, We enter, drunk with fire, Heavenly, thy sanctuary! Your magics join again What custom strictly divided;* All people become brothers,* Where your gentle wing abides. Who has succeeded in the great attempt, To be a friend's friend, Whoever has won a lovely woman, Add his to the jubilation! Indeed, who calls at least one soul Theirs upon this world! And whoever never managed, shall steal himself Weeping away from this union. All creatures drink of joy At nature's breast. Just and unjust Alike taste of her gift; She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine, A tried friend to the end. [Even] the worm has been granted sensuality, And the cherub stands before God! Gladly, as His heavenly bodies fly On their courses through the heavens, Thus, brothers, you should run your race, As a hero going to conquest. You millions, I embrace you. This kiss is for all the world! Brothers, above the starry canopy There must dwell a loving Father. Do you fall in worship, you millions? World, do you know your creator? Seek him in the heavens; Above the stars must He dwell. But they sing it in german.
"Come sing a song of Joy is the most beautiful hymn sung every Christmas. Stunning piece of music ever composed." Find the English version of this music and you will see. Ode to Joy is the name of the song
I sincerely hope Beethoven could hear this epic masterpiece with his own ear……Hard to imagine he wrote this while deaf and couldn’t know how it will be remembered hundreds years later
Spent a little over a year in Stuttgart courtesy of the US Army Feb 1980 to May 1981. Absolutely loved every minute of it, the people, the food, the country. Hope to return someday.
After 2 weeks of curfew and quarantine, listening to this heavenly music and seeing so many people singing the anthem brings so much joy and tears. I am very proud of the folks and all of German people.
This warms the heart. I imagine this is how Beethoven wanted his music to be remembered. True unity in appreciation of the beauty of humanity. Not only Germans but people around the world who have come to cherish this memory of the past. True Freude Alle Menschen werden Brüder
A true masterpiece. Not only because of the heavenly misuc but for each and every details of the video: I get back regularly to watch it and I always have tears in my eyes when it's over...
I don't cry when I lose beloved one...but I cry when I hear beethoven works.... Strong against death but weak before your masterpieces beethoven. you made us know how Germany is great.... from Sudan.
It's so great to be a part of the population that can experience music this way, to get chills and tear up when the perfect songs come on. I am so thankful and can't imagine going through this world not being able to feel the music! www.discovery.com/science/Getting-Chills-from-Music
That brings a tear to my eye. Music from a great man. Written for the people and to elevate our humanity. Played by musicians who understand the import of what they are playing. And received by the people in joy and humility. Surely God is in his heaven and so is Ludwig.
@ Colin Bryant This was so beautiful, wasn't it? I just discovered another TH-cam channel by someone called Evan Carmichael and he also posts videos of flash mobs. They're really good.

***** There is evil everywhere, not just ISIS. You must think though, how they were raised, these people, what they had seen, why they are doing the things they are doing. It is very complex, and easy to assume they are evil; yet, there are soldiers from every side. Are each side not evil? Throughout history, every country has committed atrocities. In that way, I think not of humans segregated, into groups; it happens to be that person who is evil. The result of factors surrounding us, is what makes us evil; influences. I wish you well also.
This was amazing... can you tell me which is this city/country? and why do you said it is impartant for europe? I could not understand from the language written in this video.
@@shriganesh5572 It is Nürnberg in Germany, known in English as Nuremberg, it is a city famous for many things but mainly known outside Germany as the place where the "Nuremberg trials" were held. In the 1920's and 1930's Nürnberg is where Adolf Hitler would hold Nazi rallies and so after the war it was the city where the allies of world war two held the war crimes trials of those who perpetrated the war. This is not relevant to what you asked (other than the fact you asked where this was) but the first time I watched this video some years ago I found the setting of Nürnberg to be very apt for such a flashmob. As for you asking how this is important for Europe I can only assume that Cheru was referring to the current turmoil in Europe where many nations are seeing a rise in nationalism and European unity is at the lowest it has been for half a century; as any good history book will tell you 'When European nations argue the effects are felt worldwide'.
@@krashd Thank you...for such a complete information. and you are right that in the current situation nationalism is dominating not only in europe but in the whole world. Even though nationalism is good for every country, it should not be at such extreme level that citizens would think that every problem in our country is due to our neighbour/competitor country.
@@shriganesh5572 If nationalism is good for a certain amount or not is mostly a question of how exactly you define "nationalism". (Same goes for "patriotism", which is NOT a synonym.) The most important part of the lyrics here is: "Thy magic reunites those Whom stern custom has parted; All men will become brothers Under thy gentle wing." Remeber: nations weren't made by nature, but by customs. And whatever our nationality is, we all are human. If we keep that in mind, extreme nationalism shouldn't stand a chance.

The exact way I feel about music like opera. I don't understand a single word in any of the operas I listen to, although I can certainly go find an English transcript of the words online, but they are still 100% enjoyable to listen to, even in a foreign language, simply because of the music and the emotion of the voices singing. I don't even care or need to understand the words, the music and the emotion in the voices singing in the operas are enough for me to enjoy them.
There aren't many pieces of music that can bring me to tears. This is one. This is a fabulous performance. When you see the choir and the brass section moving in, you know it is going to be special. I don't think I've ever seen a bad rendition of this. Mind you, perfection would be difficult to screw up.
![Christmas Truce of World War I -- Joyeux Noel [2005 film]](/img/n.gif)

If Beethoven was alive today and saw how beloved his music still is today and played in public squares like this he would be moved to tears of joy
Whats the names of this symphony?
Maybe, he was really moody and ill-tempered in the last phase of his life. I love his music, but his behavior was very questionable.
Especially this song (symphony no.9) was not recognized in his time. It was played less than 10 times when he was alive
As I was! I imagine his spirit flooded with joy.
Yes! sometimes just feel extremely grateful that God give us this German deaf musician!

I was playing with the 280th Artillary Group Band in Ansbach in1961 ,some of us were invited to participate in the spring music festival in Nuremburg. It turned out to be one of the most amazing things I was ever involved in. There were something like 8,000 people playing at the same time. One main conductor, and six assistant conductors. It still sends chills up my spine thinking about it, man what a day to remember...

@@MrMP-en7vf Wir haben immer versucht, ein Beispiel von Ihnen zu nehmen
@T Werk Leider wird es nicht bald passieren. Zwischen Russland und den Ländern Europas besteht eine große kulturelle Kluft sowie ein Misstrauen gegenübereinander. Damit Sie verstehen, wovon ich rede. Jahrhunderts wurden die Menschen in Russland auf die Literatur von Goethe und Schiller aufgewachsen und bewunderten den Gedanken der Deutschen, aber dann begann der Krieg. Es war auch mit der französischen Kunst vor Napoleons Marsch nach Moskau.Wenn Sie die Russen fragen, warum die Deutschen den Krieg mit Russland begonnen haben, werden Sie immer noch keine klare Antwort finden. Der einheitliche Weg Russlands mit Europa ging auseinander, als die Kommunisten an die Macht kamen und die Literatur von Friedrich Nietzsche verboten. Es scheint so eine Kleinigkeit zu sein, aber es hat eindeutig für uns den ganzen weiteren Verlauf der Ereignisse definiert.

You are right Samir. It's incredible that Beethoven wrote Ode To Joy when he was deaf. His music is humanity at its best and it lives on in us. I often feel that music like this is what will save us from ourselves.
@@amandajones6481 Hi Amanda , he wasn't only deaf but lonely completely , no social life : that points to a critical question : is social life stop our most important tasks for humanity ?

I love the Germans, they're the most wonderful people. I've had the pleasure of working with many of them.
There's so much richness here of culture and history.
This is among my favorite videos ever. Whomever constructed this was a genius, the framing is almost mythological. Blind (and benevolent) Father Culture waiting for the child to reinvigorate him. He takes her song, plays it back to her, weaves it deeper and deeper, the community joins in, weaving their melodies into hers, and then joining their voices together in triumphant praise of her. This video does Beethoven justice. Ode to joy. Grief and Praise. Grief-joy.
All the more poignant for being filmed in Nuremberg, that blood-soaked land, full of hard won beauty.
I love it. Genius. Thank you.

In this poem, Friedrich Schiller describes the ideal of a society with equal rights, who are connected by the bond of joy and friendship. Let us live this noble ideal and further expand the idea in Europe. Pass this ideal on to your children so that they can look into an equal future. I love the cultures in Europe - together we are strong.

What custom strictly divided;*
All people become brothers,*
Where your gentle wing abides.
Who has succeeded in the great attempt,
To be a friend's friend,
Whoever has won a lovely woman,
Add his to the jubilation!
Indeed, who calls at least one soul
Theirs upon this world!
And whoever never managed, shall steal himself
Weeping away from this union.
All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,
A tried friend to the end.
[Even] the worm has been granted sensuality,
And the cherub stands before God!
Gladly, as His heavenly bodies fly
On their courses through the heavens,
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.
You millions, I embrace you.
This kiss is for all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions?
World, do you know your creator?
Seek him in the heavens;
Above the stars must He dwell.
But they sing it in german.

Such lovely people. The musicians and the audience for being so attentive and giving them their space. Lovely! I would have loved to have heard the actual recording.
April 2023 and I still smile and get *tingly* watching this.
Bravo!!

Beethoven and Schiller had a dream. Now their dream is reality. A masterpiece of harmony and poetry became the Europe's anthem.
y porque no del mundo enero ?
Watching now at 2019.
And guess who's crying after watching the video? It's just that brilliant!

@@Kairat1969 what the hell is wrong with you? do you have a decency deficiency? an intelligence deficiency? suffering frm know-nothing asshole-ism? or are you jst a lame-ass Russian troll with no soul?
Its all of the above, right?!
Yeah, that's it. 🤨🙄😠
Ich finde nicht wirklich Worte für meine Gefühle, nur: Tränen fließen und mein Herz hüpft vor FREUDE!!! Danke, Beethoven und Schiller für dieses Meisterwerk! Welch ein Geschenk an die Menschheit, Wow! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Wäre schön, wenn sich die Menschheit mal wieder dran erinnern würde…
Wow - was wäre wenn alle Menschen auf dieser Welt das genauso wahrnehmen würden wie du ??? Das Paradies wäre wieder auf dieser Erde !!! Ich bin zumindest einer davon 😍🙃😉
Mir geht es genauso.
Gut gesagt

Für mich einer der schönsten Flashmobs in Deutschland den ich je gesehen habe.
I'd like to imagine that God looked down upon us during this, smiled and decided to give humanity another shot.
What a beautiful girl - the one who first started playing. And I am more and more convinced of how easy it is to give people joy, especially with music! Greetings from Russia and respect!
What wonderful things we can achieve if we come together.
Apologies from the UK. Rest assured, I was part of the 48%
Me too! It still rankles...
People forget that we are all human, we are all connected, regardless of race and nationality.
Things like this spark something within ourselves, brings us together, there needs to be more; but at least there's something! :)
***** There is evil everywhere, not just ISIS.
You must think though, how they were raised, these people, what they had seen, why they are doing the things they are doing. It is very complex, and easy to assume they are evil; yet, there are soldiers from every side. Are each side not evil? Throughout history, every country has committed atrocities.
In that way, I think not of humans segregated, into groups; it happens to be that person who is evil.
The result of factors surrounding us, is what makes us evil; influences.
I wish you well also.
If you stopped attacking countries on Israel's behalf then ISIS wouldn't exist moron.

I love the symbolism of music gradually uniting different people. This is so important for Europe.
This was amazing... can you tell me which is this city/country? and why do you said it is impartant for europe?
I could not understand from the language written in this video.
@@shriganesh5572 It is Nürnberg in Germany, known in English as Nuremberg, it is a city famous for many things but mainly known outside Germany as the place where the "Nuremberg trials" were held. In the 1920's and 1930's Nürnberg is where Adolf Hitler would hold Nazi rallies and so after the war it was the city where the allies of world war two held the war crimes trials of those who perpetrated the war.
This is not relevant to what you asked (other than the fact you asked where this was) but the first time I watched this video some years ago I found the setting of Nürnberg to be very apt for such a flashmob.
As for you asking how this is important for Europe I can only assume that Cheru was referring to the current turmoil in Europe where many nations are seeing a rise in nationalism and European unity is at the lowest it has been for half a century; as any good history book will tell you 'When European nations argue the effects are felt worldwide'.
@@krashd Thank you...for such a complete information.
and you are right that in the current situation nationalism is dominating not only in europe but in the whole world. Even though nationalism is good for every country, it should not be at such extreme level that citizens would think that every problem in our country is due to our neighbour/competitor country.
Shri Ganesh it is the european union’s anthem
@@shriganesh5572 If nationalism is good for a certain amount or not is mostly a question of how exactly you define "nationalism". (Same goes for "patriotism", which is NOT a synonym.)
The most important part of the lyrics here is:
"Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing."
Remeber: nations weren't made by nature, but by customs. And whatever our nationality is, we all are human.
If we keep that in mind, extreme nationalism shouldn't stand a chance.
Anything so beautiful it can make a child take his headphones off and listen in todays world is a true masterpiece for the ages.
They didn’t show him immediately putting them back on after the camera panned
That song is so beautiful in any language...I Send a big hug from Colombia
Beethoven wrote this between 1822 - 1824 and 196 years later it's still fantastic.
@@jacksprat3009 es el lenguaje de la musica...por eso es tan hermosa y universal..saludos
This is another reason why I love Beethoven´s 9th, it brings joy and unites people.
How wonderful was that! From the lovely young girls flawless recorder playing to that guy putting something "in the hat" ha ha, makes you glad to be alive
Listening to everyone come together to sing this song gives me goosebumps everytime. Greetings from South Side Chicago, in America!
Hello "Good America"! Yeah man, I always felt that this is some kind of gospel-song
Greetings to the U. S. A. Please learn from this shity immigrant situation in Europe, don't let it happen to you too!
@@user-kh5lg6eq7e uhhhh, i dont know what youre talking about but we have hordes of thousands of illegald coming right through the porous southern border. Have you been living under a rock?
@@mortor9730 we need to fix this, bro! Europe is on a dangerous path and your politicians hate its own citizens. it must stop before its too late :( before Europe become another shitty middle east
*tears of joy*
Didn't understand a single word but my eyes are wet!
U DON'T NEED TO UNDERSTAND WORDS. BEETHOVEN'S MUSIC IS UNIVERSAL. P.S. MY EYES TEAR TOO. WELCOME TO THE CLUB..
I agree, you don't need to understand the words but it basically advocates the fraternity of all humans :)
Its the hymne of the european union
I got you bro. th-cam.com/video/ORdSU0Yp_6g/w-d-xo.html
The exact way I feel about music like opera. I don't understand a single word in any of the operas I listen to, although I can certainly go find an English transcript of the words online, but they are still 100% enjoyable to listen to, even in a foreign language, simply because of the music and the emotion of the voices singing. I don't even care or need to understand the words, the music and the emotion in the voices singing in the operas are enough for me to enjoy them.
There aren't many pieces of music that can bring me to tears. This is one. This is a fabulous performance. When you see the choir and the brass section moving in, you know it is going to be special. I don't think I've ever seen a bad rendition of this. Mind you, perfection would be difficult to screw up.
