What a marvellous thing! I wish I’d been there. Thank you for sharing it John. It has lightened up an otherwise fairly depressing, stressful day.

John R Walker what a gift!

I have my favourites in the crowd. The old lady with the red coat and black hat and glasses, the little girl up the pole puts her hand to her mouth, and the guy who says ‘wow’ right on the last chorus.

Thanks.

Probably the greatest piece of music ever written, after this of course.

That’s super. It’s also interesting that people in the crowd appear to know the words.

Yeah, pretty surprising since the real lyrics are in German. Then again, Ode to Joy is the official anthem of the EU, and it’s been translated into many languages. I don’t know if this choir is singing in Spanish or German.
