The musicologist Alexander Rehding points out that even Bernstein, who used "Freiheit" in two performances in 1989, called it conjecture whether Schiller used "joy" as code for "freedom" and that scholarly consensus holds that there is no factual basis for this myth. Thayer wrote in his biography of Beethoven, "the thought lies near that it was the early form of the poem, when it was still an 'Ode to Freedom' (not 'to Joy'), which first aroused enthusiastic admiration for it in Beethoven's mind". The original, later eliminated last stanza readsĪcademic speculation remains as to whether Schiller originally wrote an ode "To Freedom" ( An die Freiheit) and changed it to "To Joy". The original meaning of Mode was "custom, contemporary taste". The lines marked with * were revised in the posthumous 1808 edition as follows: Whoever has succeeded in the great attempt, Rhodesia's national anthem from 1974 until 1979, " Rise, O Voices of Rhodesia", used the tune of "Ode to Joy". His tune (but not Schiller's words) was adopted as the " Anthem of Europe" by the Council of Europe in 1972 and subsequently by the European Union. Beethoven's text is not based entirely on Schiller's poem, and it introduces a few new sections. "Ode to Joy" is best known for its use by Ludwig van Beethoven in the final (fourth) movement of his Ninth Symphony, completed in 1824. A slightly revised version appeared in 1808, changing two lines of the first and omitting the last stanza. " Ode to Joy" ( German: " An die Freude", literally "To Joy") is an ode written in the summer of 1785 by German poet, playwright, and historian Friedrich Schiller and published the following year in Thalia.
