By the time the chorus and soloists join for the final movement, the music has evolved from struggle and darkness into a blazing light of joy. A Journey Through the Movements 🎼 00:00 Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso 16:01 Molto vivace 28:35 Adagio molto e cantabile 53:56 Finale (57:29 Ode To Joy) The Power of "Ode to Joy" 🤝 The finale features Friedrich Schiller's poem, "An die Freude" (Ode to Joy). When the Kenosha Symphony is joined by a massed choir and four soloists, the message of "All men shall become brothers" reaches its peak. "Beethoven was almost stone-deaf when he conducted the premiere of this work. He had to be turned around by the soloists to see the audience’s standing ovation." Why the Kenosha Symphony? ✨ A performance of the 9th by a regional orchestra like the KSO is a community-defining event. It demonstrates: Orchestral Ambition: Managing the massive technical demands of the score. Collaboration: Bringing together local singers and musicians for a shared vision of unity. Cultural Legacy: Keeping the fire of Beethoven's revolutionary spirit alive for modern audiences. The "Ode to Joy" is one of the most famous melodies in history.
