Ode to Joy
"Ode to Joy" ( (:an diː ˈfʁɔʏdə), first line: ) is an ode written in the summer of 1785 by German poet, playwright and historian Friedrich Schiller and published the following year in ''Thalia''. A slightly revised version appeared in 1808, changing two lines of the first and omitting the last stanza.
Ode to Joy is best known for its use by Ludwig van Beethoven in the final movement of his Ninth Symphony, which does not set the entire poem and reorders some sections (Beethoven's text is given in that article). Beethoven's tune〔The usual name of the Hymn tune is "Hymn to Joy" (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hymnary.org/tune/hymn_to_joy_beethoven )〕 (but not Schiller's words) was adopted as the Anthem of Europe by the Council of Europe in 1972, and subsequently the European Union.
== The poem ==
Friedrich Schiller, who was enthusiastically celebrating the brotherhood and unity of all mankind, later made some small revisions to the poem when it was republished in 1803, and it was this latter version that forms the basis for Beethoven's famous setting. Despite the lasting popularity of the ode, Schiller himself regarded it as a failure later in his life, going so far as calling it "detached from reality" and "of value maybe for us two, but not for the world, nor for the art of poetry" in an 1800 letter to his long-time friend and patron Christian Gottfried Körner (whose friendship had originally inspired him to write the ode).〔The German text can be found at http://www.wissen-im-netz.info/literatur/schiller/briefe/koerner/1800/571.htm〕
