About Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Choral," was completed in 1824 at a time when it's composer was completely deaf.  It is one of the best known works in Western music, considered both a masterpiece and a forefather of Romantic music.

Symphony No. 9 incorporates soloists and a chorus in its famous last movement, "Ode to Joy," creating a work of a grand scope that set the tone for the Romantic symphonic form.

For more on all things Beethoven, including an exhaustive history of "Ode to Joy" and the Ninth Symphony, visit the Beethoven section of the Raptus Association for Music Appreciation's Web site.
