Back in the autumn of 1972, I was deep into my second year of studying compositional structure and technique. I was directed to select a milestone work for a thesis. I chose The Ninth. After countless days, watching the seasons change to winter and then spring, working at wee hours when only a persistent owl would always seem to come by, one might I felt this work instead of hearing it. It truly lifted me into the stars and then beyond. Part of me was left there, because when I awoke back into this realm, I knew something was different. Now, at the most challenging of times, it is as if I get a "calling" from very far away. And it is wondrous. It is hopeful. It is peaceful. So very full of love. And each time, I remember entering that portal on that night, long ago. And I am thankful.
When a violinist complained to Beethoven of the technical difficulties in one of his quartets, the composer shouted 'Do you think I am concerned with your wretched fiddle when the inspiration strikes me?' He didn't give a damn about technical difficulty. If you want simple technical demands, go play a Telemann sonata. If you want a rewarding musical and spiritual experience, Beethoven's your man.
It's not that hard really. As a conducting student who's sung this a good couple of times, I'd say most of the difficulty comes just from Beethoven being totally uninstructed in singing and also completely deaf at the time of writing this so a lot of the vocal parts are just plain awkward to sing at times. He was truly a genius, but he wasn't the best at writing for choir.
When one is singing something like this, one is caught up in it! One is usually exhausted upon completion of the performance but as exhaustion goes, it usually feels worth the effort unless one's director is a total arse and is mean as well. Otherwise it is uplifting. The experience of singing "inside" a group, being in tune, hitting harmonics is better than just listening. And just listening is very uplifting!
The soprano line is extremely high, and the G and A notes are solitary, nothing leads up to them, making it very difficult to sing without the preparation of a lead-up.
I love the fugue that takes place at 16:01, the orchestra and the choir complement each other in such a way that it seems like a divine song and the faster tempo is easy to recognize, simply Beethoven.

13:30 Both tenors and basses are in falsetto when unifying the F4 above middle C. One tenor and one baritone could try using their opera voice since they both have an F4 in use.
You know that he was deaf when he composed and conducted this piece. I mean, can you imagine doing this if you couldn’t hear? It’s just freaking awesome.
I got excited for this song from a class i was taking! I came to listen more. It is crazy how they have to sing so fast, then go painstakingly slow at different moments. I sing (i am not a professional), it is so difficult. It is possible, but my head is spinning! My engine was revved up to go fast, then they want to go slow!!! It is def not easy! Great music, though!!!!

Have to say, although I really appreciate the work you do, this particular recording I thought was pretty swift in the opening, and in the final section, pretty slow. I've sung this a few times and was geared from a proper race to the finish!! Nvm, I honestly love that u still make video despite having to create new profiles for copyright reasons lol
Убийствено пеене. Бетовен изобщо не е мислил колко е трудно за хоровите певци, дори за професионалистите. Но толкова силна и красива музика, че надхвърляш собствените си възможности и пееш!
I doubt you sang it badly if you think so The statement lends itself to strife for perfection Im not very impressed so often with some who think theyre so hot Yet its part of the package Its not always filled with the really good ones Only adequate. And there you have it Another severely critical voice and EAR Mustnt forget the ear though it happens hah
This piano arrangement strips away a lot of detail, like that chord - possibly of necessity. It also incorrectly represents the bass as A, when in fact it is F. But anyone wanting to analyze the music would best go to the full score (available on imslp.org).
I like it when spider cat is walking in the wall and men are singing talking reality spider cat theme song lol and spider cat repeating everything you can say and Robert Peter says hello violet Liz Allan, and violet Liz says cat with a funny voice and then Peter Parker and Sheryl Kylie Toomes are starting their happy monster band on Hollywood studios

is there anywhere i can find the music at 9:05 in the same audio form as it was in the movie clockwork orange? it seemed so wonky and out of sync and i loved it

About this particular recording, what's happening in the very first chord? Am I going crazy or am I hearing notes that are not written (in this particular piano reduction, at least) ?
It's quite humorous that, whenever I feel like a piece is being taken too fast and check who is conducting, it's often the late maestro Abbado, as is the case here. I don't mean at all to disrespect his talent and his legacy as an artist, but he did have a tendency to rush at times.
+professor de portuga do YT The bottom part is a simplification of the orchestra, intended so a pianist can perform it to help a choir practice without being a virtuoso (though he would have to be quite skilled). Liszt wrote an awesome transcription of this for actual solo piano, I recommend you take a look at it :D
Never been a big fan of Beethoven. Too much simple parallel motion in the harmonies, which is quite evident in the simplified score here. But the themes and vocal work are superb.

Killing singing. Beethoven wasn't thinking at all how difficult it is for choir singers, even for professionals.
Mozart was way more demanding on singers.

You know that he was deaf when he composed and conducted this piece. I mean, can you imagine doing this if you couldn’t hear? It’s just freaking awesome.
The only time he got relief from the piercing silence he lived in was by biting a metal rod he attached to his piano while he played

It always makes me think of A Clockwork Orange

Reminds me of "Immortal Beloved," where Beethoven is imagining his father's drunken carousing and plans to beat poor Ludwig.

8:58 - best part - Clockwork Orange exemplifies the perfection of the song.
haha made the same basic comment 5 years ago, how interesting.
Yes exactly. Wish I knew the name for this part, not even sure there is one. "Tenor part"
love the tempo
To be honest, the ending should have been a bit faster....
I think its the speed at the end that gives it the wow factor.
other wise its great.
Im always good with the reduction of speed for clarity

Good luck reading that!

Just great singing along with the baritone solo and the chorus I sung it badly but it was thrilling Better than being a passive listener
I doubt you sang it badly if you think so The statement lends itself to strife for perfection Im not very impressed so often with some who think theyre so hot Yet its part of the package Its not always filled with the really good ones Only adequate. And there you have it Another severely critical voice and EAR Mustnt forget the ear though it happens hah
How is it possible such an opening chord? That brass section is a scandal!
That's beethoven
It's Bbmaj7 and then in the reprise it's (maybe even more chilling) c#dim7 over d minor.
This piano arrangement strips away a lot of detail, like that chord - possibly of necessity. It also incorrectly represents the bass as A, when in fact it is F. But anyone wanting to analyze the music would best go to the full score (available on imslp.org).
