Ludwig van Beethoven: Ode an die Freude/Ode to Joy. It's a tune about peace: Ode to Joy represents the triumph of universal brotherhood against war and desperation. Indeed, Beethoven himself put to music a poem that praises and wishes for freedom and peace between all peoples.
Ukraine is fighting for Europe’s freedom and values, European Union leaders said Sunday, as they handed this year’s award for service towards European unity to the war-torn country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian people.
“Ukraine incarnates everything the European idea is living for: the courage of convictions, the fight for values and freedom, the commitment to peace and unity,” said EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, at the Charlemagne Prize ceremony, in the western German city of Aachen.
“President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine are fighting for the values and the obligation that this prize embodies. And in doing so, they are also fighting for our own freedom and our values,” she said, in a message echoed by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
For Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Russia’s war on its neighbor has “cemented one clear realization: Ukraine is part of our European family.”

Since 1985, Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' has been the melody used to symbolise the European Union. Although there are no words in the official anthem, the poem 'Ode to Joy' expresses Schiller's vision of the human race becoming brothers - a vision Beethoven shared.
The “Ode to Joy” text that Beethoven employed, and slightly modified, was written by the German poet, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, in the summer of 1785. It was a celebratory poem addressing the unity of all mankind.
The Ninth Symphony symbolizes powerfully the struggle through night into light, of progress against reaction, to which Beethoven dedicated his whole life and work. It is often expressed in a struggle between a dark minor key and a brilliant affirmative major key.
“The Hymn of Joy” (often called “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” after the first line) is a poem written by Henry van Dyke in 1907 with the intention of musically setting it to the famous “Ode to Joy” melody of the final movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's final symphony, Symphony No. 9.
The symphony is one of the best known works of the Western classical repertoire and is considered one of Beethoven's masterpieces. At the time it was a novel idea to use a chorus and solo voices in a symphony, which is why it's also called the "Choral" symphony.
Considered by many his greatest work, and one of the greatest pieces of music in western music history, it was written when Beethoven was almost completely deaf. Stories from the premiere tell of the composer still conducting the performance after the orchestra had finished playing.
Is it true ‘Ode to Joy’ is Europe’s official anthem?
Yes it is. Or rather Beethoven’s music to Ode to Joy is the official Anthem of Europe and is played at official events. It was adapted in 1972 and is not designed to replace individual states national anthems but rather celebrate Europe’s sense of brotherhood, like Schiller intended
What are the original lyrics to Ode to Joy in English?
Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity [or: of gods],
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter, drunk with fire,
Heavenly one, thy sanctuary!
Thy magic binds again
What custom strictly divided;*
All people become brothers,*
Where thy gentle wing abides.
Whoever has succeeded in the great attempt,
To be a friend’s friend,
Whoever has won a lovely woman,
Add his to the jubilation!
Yes, and also whoever has just one soul
To call his own in this world!
And he who never managed it should slink
Weeping from this union!
All creatures drink of joy
At nature’s breasts.
All the Just, all the Evil
Follow her trail of roses.
Kisses she gave us and grapevines,
A friend, proven in death.
Ecstasy was given to the worm
And the cherub stands before God.
Gladly, as His suns fly
through the heavens’ grand plan
Go on, brothers, your way,
Joyful, like a hero to victory.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss to all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Are you collapsing, millions?
Do you sense the creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy!
Above stars must He dwell
Ukrainians fight for the European values, democracy and personal freedom.

Kann der Penner sich für die Millionen, welche er von uns bekommt mal vernünftig anziehen???
Wen kümmert schon die Meinung eines verbitterten Putin Verstehers?
The Ukrainian State gets money from its allies for a war effort, not to buy suits for its president. Why are you so upset about how he dresses?
