This is a pop arrangement of the well-known Ode to Joy just bursting with strength and in which joy does indeed arise. The rhythmic intro segues into the a cappella ballade in which, in addition to the soprano, the alto and bass voices are also allowed to take the lead. This arrangement by Jan-Hendrik Hermann was composed within the framework of the Virtual Choir Project Der größte Chor im Westen (The Largest Choir in the West) of the North Rhine Westfalia Choir Association. Lyrics in English and German (Ode an die Freude).
