Today in music history Ludwig van Beethoven premiered his Ninth Symphony featuring "Ode to Joy" in the fourth movement. On May 7, 1824, an audience in Vienna was the first to hear his final masterpiece. Although Beethoven was deaf when he composed this, his musical genius transcended his disability. In 1907 Henry van D**e wrote a new poem to be set to the "Ode to Joy" theme. Listen to my rendition of the inspiring "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee."
