Ode To Joy

From Plank Road Publishing

To honor Beethoven's 250th birthday, we arranged the "Ode To Joy" from the finale of his renowned 9th Symphony. For our version, we have adapted the fairly well-known English lyrics by Henry van Dyke. We have also made it primarily a vocal work, with an optional second part, but also foreshortening the ending a bit. It should make a powerful finale to any performance year round.
