Music appreciation of Ode to Joy

The entrance is played by cello and double bass, and the deep voice rings in silence, giving people a deep and calm feeling; After the melody is played once, the viola comes into play to repeat the melody, and the melody goes to the alto part. The slightly brighter timbre of the theme song brings a bright feeling to the melody, and the bass part retreats to the back to accompany the woodwind. After the viola plays the melody, it retreats to the accompaniment, and then the violin joins in. The violin sings like a song, which makes the melody really come alive. After the violin voice simply repeats the melody, the melody marches to the band for unified performance. At this time, brass pipes and woodwinds play the main melody, accompanied by other voices, and the scene is grand, from the calm and deep happiness in front to the jubilant scene, the main melody of ode to joy runs through.

Symphony No.9 (Chorus) in D minor (1822- 1825), Op. 125.

Symphony No.9 of Chorus in D minor, Op. 125 shows that people are immersed in philosophical meditation, and at the same time immersed in historical review and summary. I sincerely recall and miss the ancestors who shed their last drop of blood for the progress, development and liberation of mankind. In this process of thinking, recalling, reviewing and summarizing, people look forward to the future, encourage each other, gather new strength, prepare for new struggles, get the complete liberation of all mankind and get sacred joy.

And strive for the most meaningful struggle. The music before the end of the third movement indicates that a stormy change is coming. At first, music erupted like a volcano, showing great energy and breaking through all constraints. After a long time, the accumulated power of human beings broke out, and the change was sweeping, destroying all feudal ugly things. Change has created favorable conditions for the progress and development of human society. The music repeats the themes of the first three movements immediately after the fragment, but they are all interrupted by the melody that represents human desire for freedom and joy. It seems to say: don't want these old things, innovate and move forward. After intense and full preparation. Finally, the theme of a long-awaited Ode to Joy symbolizes that mankind has finally found the road to freedom and happiness through hard struggle. The theme of Ode to Joy was first played by the bass cello, and then gradually extended to stringed instruments and the whole band. The intensity and rhythm became stronger and stronger, forming a huge torrent, which was unstoppable, and people made rapid progress on the road of freedom and joy. & lt Ode to Joy: After the theme variation, the storm-like sound appeared again. But this time, people sang from the heart. Baritone lead singer: "Ah! friends. Don't sing the old tune. Let's sing happily. " So Ode to Joy, driven by the lead singer, joined the band in the form of chorus. Ode to Joy is a poem written by Schiller, a contemporary German poet. Beethoven used it to express his ideals. Here we must understand that in Ode to Joy, Beethoven's basic ideas are different from Schiller's. Schiller thinks that happiness is the premise of becoming brothers, and Beethoven thinks that freedom, equality and fraternity are the premise of happiness. People must strive for liberation. Happiness is not a gift from God, but a human struggle. Happiness belongs to the liberated people themselves.

The addition of chorus makes the whole music enter a sacred realm. Thoughts and emotions have sublimated, and all ugly things are ashamed under the light of thoughts. After a hard struggle, mankind finally got liberation, freedom and happiness, and finally entered a sacred and ideal world.
