Ode an die Freude - Ode to Joy
in a beautiful Hebrew adaptation.
2007_02_02 Sing to the Joy in Us Updated on 2009_01_20 for the project "Singing Together", a compilation in paper, in 3 identical folders, of all the songs the family likes to sing, with Immanuel playing the guitar. A gift for Immanuel's birthday on 2009_01_23 produced by me and his wife Efrat |
Not
a translation but a very free adaptation: Telma Aligon She sang it on a Peace-Demonstration in Tel-Aviv, perhaps 1993. The text was on the flyer which was distributed to the participants |
tune: a folksong 1801 [hear tune] adapted by Beethoven for the text : "Hymn to the Joy" by the poet Friedrich Schiller, inserted as last part of the ninth, Beethoven's last Symphony 1824 |
from pp55- Heaven on Earth links: Beethoven & the Ninth Symphony This site is in English, for Arnon I found one in Hebrew |
The Hebrew song: from puzzle
piece 39b The Process of Manifestation and Creation
-recorded in 2002, with the help of a simple walkman, on the background of
the splashing of my Dead
Sea spring
The passage above is part of a little research I did
on the history of the Hymn to Joy
for my grandson Arnon (10),
after he played for me the very first piece he had learnt on the piano.
To my greatest surprise I found out,
that this famous tune has become the
Hymn of the European Union!
About
the 9th Symphony in English, see Wikipedia.
I copy here the Text of fourth the movement
Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Freude! Freude! Freude trinken alle Wesen Froh, wie seine Sonnen
fliegen Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Finale repeats
the words: Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
|
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods, All creatures drink joy Glad, as his suns fly
Be embraced, you millions!
Be embraced, ye millions!

Elah, my granddaughter pointed to a fantastic
flashmob-Ode to Joy
Tears in my eyes: all these musicians and singers in every day clothes,
all these people on the street, all these children and babies,
that's how I imagine "Joy"....

- Mika's Heaven on Earth
I follow my understanding and new lekh-lekhâ on January 1, 2009, that - after 7 years - I should no longer create new pages on my 2 websites, but intermingle the evidence of new experiences with that on existing pages. On August 1, I decided to re-employ song-page after song-page for documenting and exploring the evolution of my youngest grandchild, a starchild whose assignment for this planet seems to be: to demonstrate by her own living and doing, how to playfully create from moment to moment "zest-fully and full-filled" [see previous composition] |
I should have gone back to Arad on Wednesday,
since Immanuel returned,
Thursday afternoon Mika reminded ourselves
of "the tent", which we recently had erected in my room.
The seventh day of Chanuka!
I ask her to put the white dolphin, a gift from uncle Marco, on the "D" picture , "remember, in my song for your birthday you ride on a dolphin as if on a wave!"
Then it's time to go to bed after all and
I again sing her
her song,
