Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Finale

Yes, really. I often wake up to classical pieces in my head because I do listen to a lot of it throughout the day. I would be remiss here to not mention my favorite classical station, WQXR.

I've actually sung this piece, and whenever I hear it on the radio, am compelled to belt it out. Here for you, a little snippet.

"Freude, schöner Götterfunken*

Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt."
