2. Ode to Joy, also known as Ode to Joy (OdeandieFreude in German), is a poem written by German poet Schiller in 1785. Beethoven composed music for this purpose, which became the main part of the fourth movement of his ninth symphony, including four independent parts, chorus and orchestra. Beethoven's music (excluding lyrics) has become the union song of the European Union and the national anthem of the European Council, and it has also been used as the melody of the national anthem "Raising the Voice of Rhodesia" of Rhodesia 1974- 1979.
3. Poetry Source: 1785 10 One day in October, in the village of Roswitz, a suburb of Dresden, the poet Schiller was invited by a newly married couple to attend their wedding reception. At the banquet, the poet was deeply infected by the happiness of the newlyweds, the enthusiasm of friends and the joyful atmosphere at the scene, and wrote this ode. In fact, the poet writes about love rather than happiness. Love transcends the times, races, regions and national boundaries and is deeply rooted in people's hearts. This poem, written by the great musician Beethoven, spread all over the world with beautiful melody and echoed in people's hearts for a long time. People say this is a lyric poem.
