Friedrich Schiller wrote the words Ode to Joy in 1785 as a celebration of
the triumph of the brotherhood of man against war and desperation. A revised
version was published in 1808. In 1824 Ludwig van Beethoven used parts of
that poem in his Ninth Symphony. In 1907 Henry van Dyke added his choice of
words to Beethovens melody to create the hymn Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee.
Ode to Joy became the Anthem of the Council of Europe in 1972 and in 1985 the
anthem of the European Community (EU). Ode to Joy is commonly used as a
Wedding Recessional.
