200 candles today for our Ode to Joy!
The European Union’s anthem turns 2⃣0⃣0⃣ today and it is time to celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven’s masterpiece!
Composed in 1824, the excerpt from the prelude to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was adopted as the anthem of the EU in 1985 and is one of the most known symbols of our unity. It speaks volumes through its melody, embodying the shared European ideals of freedom, peace, and solidarity.
One anthem, a whole Union. Happy birthday, Ode to joy!

in reply to European Commission • • •Uraufführung der 9. Sinfonie war am 7. Mai 1824 im Theater am Kärntnertor . "... Beethoven, der bereits völlig ertaubt war, stand beim Schlusssatz mit dem Rücken zum Publikum und las die Worte der Sänger von ihrem Munde ab. Nach der Aufführung brach ein frenetischer Beifall los. Nach Aussagen von Sigismund Thalberg, der unter den Zuhörern war, drehte Caroline Unger Beethoven nach dem Ende des Scherzo zum jubelnden Publikum, laut Anton Schindler auch nach dem Ende des Chorfinales. Er sah die begeisterte Menge und verbeugte sich dankend. - Quelle Wikipedia"
Heute verneigen wir uns vor dem Komponisten Ludwig van Beethoven, der uns so viel schöne Musik gegeben hat.
Eine Instrumentalfassung des Hauptthemas "Ode an die Freude" aus dem letzten Satz der neunten Sinfonie Ludwig van #Beethovens wurde 1985 als offizielle Hymne der EU angenommen.

in reply to European Commission • • •Is it true that you shut down all your platforms in the #Fediverse BEFORE the elections, in a time when the fight for #democracy and the #EU is so important? https://darnell.day/european-union-surrendering-fediverse-voice-to-threads
So, no joy. I can't believe it. Most people blocked Threads, the great platforms that help misinformations, are not a democratic option.
