BEETHOVEN'S NINTH - ODE TO JOY

Beethoven combines his musical interpretation with Schiller's poem " ODE TO JOY " Music & poetry combined with the promise of joy & hope.Bernstein's introduction is insightful & inspiring . Enjoy or not as the case may be . In these dark times as we head back into the darkest ages as we lose sight of our commonality that we are all mere mortals instead we clamor for more war & death to prove our superiority to crush millions beneath our feet .

Leonard Bernstein - BEETHOVEN'S NINTH- ODE TO JOY- PART 1



Leonard Bernstein, BEETHOVEN'S NINTH ODE TO JOY - PART 2




Friedrich Schiller
(1759-1805)

Ode To Joy

translated by William F. Wertz

Joy, thou beauteous godly lightning,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire drunken we are ent’ring
Heavenly, thy holy home!
Thy enchantments bind together,
What did custom stern divide,
Every man becomes a brother,
Where thy gentle wings abide.

Chorus.
Be embrac’d, ye millions yonder!
Take this kiss throughout the world!
Brothers—o’er the stars unfurl’d
Must reside a loving Father.}

Who the noble prize achieveth,
Good friend of a friend to be;
Who a lovely wife attaineth,
Join us in his jubilee!
Yes—he too who but {one} being
On this earth can call {his} own!
He who ne’er was able, weeping
Stealeth from this league alone!

Chorus.
He who in the great ring dwelleth,
Homage pays to sympathy!
To the stars above leads she,
Where on high the {Unknown} reigneth.}

Joy is drunk by every being
From kind nature’s flowing breasts,
Every evil, every good thing
For her rosy footprint quests.
Gave she {us} both {vines} and kisses,
In the face of death a friend,
To the worm were given blisses
And the Cherubs God attend.

Chorus.
Fall before him, all ye millions?
{Know’st} thou the Creator, world?
Seek above the stars unfurl’d,
Yonder dwells He in the heavens.}

Joy commands the hardy mainspring
Of the universe eterne.
Joy, oh joy the wheel is driving
Which the worlds’ great clock doth turn.
Flowers from the buds she coaxes,
Suns from out the hyaline,
Spheres she rotates through expanses,
Which the seer can’t divine.

Chorus.
As the suns are flying, happy
Through the heaven’s glorious plane,
Travel, brothers, down your lane,
Joyful as in hero’s vict’ry.}

From the truth’s own fiery mirror
On the searcher {doth} she smile.
Up the steep incline of honor
Guideth {she} the suff’rer’s mile.
High upon faith’s sunlit mountains
One can see {her} banner flies,
Through the breach of open’d coffins
{She} in angel’s choir doth rise.

Chorus.
Suffer on courageous millions!
Suffer for a better world!
O’er the tent of stars unfurl’d
God rewards you from the heavens.}

Gods can never be requited,
Beauteous ’tis, their like to be.
Grief and want shall be reported,
So to cheer with gaiety.
Hate and vengeance be forgotten,
Pardon’d be our mortal foe,
Not a teardrop shall him dampen,
No repentance bring him low.

Chorus.
Let our book of debts be cancell’d!
Reconcile the total world!
Brothers—o’er the stars unfurl’d
God doth judge, as we have settl’d.}

Joy doth bubble from this rummer,
From the golden blood of grape
Cannibals imbibe good temper,
Weak of heart their courage take—
Brothers, fly up from thy places,
When the brimming cup doth pass,
Let the foam shoot up in spaces:
To the goodly Soul this glass!

Chorus.
Whom the crown of stars doth honor,
Whom the hymns of Seraphs bless,
{To the goodly Soul this glass}
O’er the tent of stars up yonder!}

Courage firm in grievous trial,
Help, where innocence doth scream,
Oaths which sworn to are eternal,
Truth to friend and foe the same,
Manly pride ’fore kingly power—
Brothers, cost it life and blood,—
Honor to whom merits honor,
Ruin to the lying brood!

Chorus.
Closer draw the holy circle,
Swear it by this golden wine,
Faithful to the vow divine,
Swear it by the Judge celestial!}

Rescue from the tyrant’s fetters,
Mercy to the villain e’en,
Hope within the dying hours,
Pardon at the guillotine!
E’en the dead shall live in heaven!
Brothers, drink and all agree,
Every sin shall be forgiven,
Hell forever cease to be.

Chorus.
A serene departing hour!
Pleasant sleep beneath the pall!
Brothers—gentle words for all
Doth the Judge of mortals utter!}

that's all for now,
gordon

How does one define a Utopian world and Utopian experiences? Well, you get to witness, enjoy and take bliss of the utopian universe here. Imagine the beautiful escort walking hand in hand with you at your command. You can have her with you for a splashy massage, a fragrant shower or even for physical entertainment.

My first experience with New York escort was fantastic
[url=http://bijouescorts.com]New York Escorts[/url]
Practically nothing boosts a man?s image and confidence better than being seen with a sexy, intelligent, and experienced woman on his arm! It?s true! Even though several men favor to suffer from insecurities in silence and with a big pseudo smile, the really wise ones employ New York escorts and bask in the beauty of words of flattery that their affiliates and also fellow workers in the trade shower on all of them with regard to their particular choice of fellow. If you have visited alone to New York on a company or work stay and deteste idea of spending your time and effort in this super-exciting city on your own, try hiring the escort of your choice from one of the various trusted New York escorts agencies.

Stamford Escorts is one of the finest agency which employs beautiful young girls around the world. Here girls are screened and interviewed properly so that they can fulfill the sensual desires of customers and make their trip a memorable one.

In call service is where the beautiful babe calls you to meet up with her and out call is the service type where a client calls an blonde escort at his residence or a birthday party.

That brings me on to the point of all this. Who among the many United strikers of the past have been the best? For what they are worth, here are my thoughts on the top 5 strikers in the years prior to Alex Ferguson's reign at Manchester Utd. I have a strong suspicion that if you happen to be reading this your views may not align with mine, but I can live with that. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]manchesterunited[/url] With this as background, United is probably the more popular of the two Manchester football teams, wouldn’t you think? Such may not be the case as there has been a long-standing belief that Manchester City actually has more local fans than their more famous namesakes. A few years ago, a Manchester University research study discovered that Manchester United has 9,000 season ticket holders in the M postal area compared to Manchester City’s 7,000 season ticket holders. City fans quickly pointed out, though, that the research study was conducted before the City team moved to the larger City of Manchester stadium. As a result, no one is really sure which team is more popular among the locals. What is certain is that as far as nationwide and international support is concerned, United has a far larger fan base than City. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]rooney[/url] Back in the Newton Heath era, the kits were made up of yellow and green stitched sections (1878 - 1892), and looked a bit like a jockey's silks. Some additional colour schemes were also employed such as a red and white shirt (1892-1894) paired with blue shorts. This all changed in 1902 when the club changed its name to Manchester United, the club radically altered the kit colours to red shirts, white shorts and black socks. This colour palette has been the foundation of the home strip ever since. The away strip is white jerseys, black shorts and white socks however different looks to this strip have existed. The most notorious of these was the all-grey strip employed in the 1995-1996 campaign. The club did not win a single game when sporting the grey shirts. The team were vociferous in their claims that the drab colour meant they had difficulty seeing their team-mates, hence passes were being sprayed all over the pitch! Another variation was the all-black kit used in 1994 and 2003. There is also a "Third Strip". This shirt which is not often used, is an homage to the kit worn when the club won the 1968 European Cup. The team has occasionally used the strips employed for training sessions in actual matches although this has been a rare occurence.

Real Madrid’s hopes and dreams were smashed by Lyon on Wednesday, where the Spanish giants had a tied game but were beaten in the aggregate score, 2-1. No more final in the Bernabeu Stadium. No more Champions League. Real Madrid players were devastated by the result. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid fotos[/url] This worked for Zaragoza, but they had to quit their offensive attack to take care of their defensive lines to prevent the Meringues’ attempts. This meant that Manuel Pellegrini’s team had more difficulties creating chances to score until minute 27, when it enjoyed a double opportunity with an accurate attempt from Raul Gonzalez, which hit the post, and then the subsequent shot from Ronaldo, which Czech Jiri Jarosik saved as the ball approached the net.

Higuain, recently recovered from his injury, exhibited his great talent as always and played for several minutes in the game. In the final minutes of the match, the player took a last opportunity at minute 90 and sealed his team’s victory with a third goal, his 12th of the season. The point puts Higuain three goals ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was serving the second of his two-match outlaw. With this last play, Real Madrid ended the game with a final scoring of 3-0. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]kaka ricardo[/url] For Racing Santander, only Oscar Serrano was able to convert during solo action, passing Rafa Marquez and kicking a thunderous left-footed drive in off post.

Any of you going through having females lookin in your mouth like ewww? I bet you do that's why a lot of you are nerds. lol looking for date sites and money because you need dental work immediately. anyway, i'm not selling anything or anything but i do want to encourage everyone to look up veneers. google it or find it somewher or ask your dentist. it is the freaking best thing the world.

all that wonderful candy that those retards at mars gave you turned on you and got your whole family running around looking like the wicked witches and wizards of the west.

You go to the denstist and get a cleaning but what the hell is that going to do? You've got caved in teeth, appalachan mountain teeth, rocky mountain teeth, and general crackhead related teeth.

It's rough on you I know but it's true. I used to be the same way. I did happen to spend a couple g's on some veneers in atlanta ga (google it if you're not from the US). Now I do bust out big smiles on every occasion i meet a face, in abstract to the past where it's hide the smile! But anyway some of you might definitely need to undergo such a process.

You should also notice, it's a great way to continue the dental industry and make sure we have motivated dentists to come up with new innovative ways to fix our teeth. veneers is a big step over gold and silver teeth replacements which are gaudy and look crazy.

Dental hygiene is vasty essential to total wellbeing. Most individuals don't assume of their oral hygiene as a part of their health, but quite a few health associated issues stem from infections inside the mouth. See your dentist twice a year and avoid any unecessary health problems that could have been avoided should you did your 2 yearly check ups.
