*_”Pleasure was given to the worm and the cherub stands for God!” Gives goosebumps everytime. _**_8:25_*

[@egonwilhelmbremer-strauss2607]

you have no idea how much German you just made me read as I had to Google what that line means and the answer was a really long discussion in mostly German. The consensus I gathered is that the worm is a metaphor for the lower animals and the cherub is an oddly out-of-place non sequitur.

[@MadKingOfMadaya]

@@egonwilhelmbremer-strauss2607 NOOO! Pleasure is sought by the scummy worm (person who faps to hentai) and the Cherub stands for god means: A man who suffers for god is a Cherub, an angel.

[@nameless5053]

@@MadKingOfMadaya oml that line is about controlling your desires and stuff?? Holy, that just makes me love that line even more

[@BrettonFerguson]

Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, Und der Cherub steht vor Gott! Pleasure was given to the worm, And the cherub stands before God! Saying Stands for God, someone might think it means standing for something, to support or accept particular principles or values. It means the Cherub is literally standing in the throne room in front of God. Also good to put that comma in there. The worm is not also standing before God in the throne room. Not that your version is wrong, just that some people can easily misinterpret meaning. But I do agree it is the best part.

Alex, Thank you so much for this excellent contribution to one of the world's most moving compositions. Incredibly helpful for non-German speakers. Very much appreciated!!

[@fourm897]

Incredibly helpful for German speakers too 😉

I'm surprised that this video hasn't reached one million views yet because it's the most beautiful pieces in the universe ✨

[@Leo-Tyrant]

This format is incredible. I have been looking for something like this for years. Thank you!

[@Cmanthegeek]

5:36 is just too majestic I can’t stop playin IT

[@lappilappland3708]

I have sung it in the former Neuengamme concentration Camp at a Reconciliation Concert as a Chorus Tenor . It was indescribably. During the silent Part at 15:00 Min you can hear inside the old brick Factory the Wind in the Trees outside. I had the most Time Goosebumps and it run Cold and Warm down my Back. The whole Concert with the 9th Symphony as second Part was about 2,5 Hours. At the End we had about 15 (!) Min Standing Ovations from the over 800 Viewers. It was the most impressive Concert in my Life. (Out of over 150 where I had sun with my Chorus in 10 Years).

[@charlesharrison4077]

Gott sei dank dass diese Symphonie geschrieben wurdest. Ich kann nicht euch erklären wie die Worten mein Leben beeinflußt haben.

So amazing that someone created this chart! Learning this miraculous piece and this is so great! Thank you!

[@Redwane-Music]

it is some fantastic hard work. amazing how you respected the synchronization with the lyrics and the singing. bravo

[@bej5000]

Thank you so much for posting this. I just heard this performed, and was able to follow the parts for awhile, until I got lost in the German. This made it so clear. I wish I would have listened to this before the performance.

[@johnbarry5036]

this is great, thank you thank you! Ive never been able to clearly hear the words after so many decades.

[@retrovideoquest]

This is amazing... for so many years I've tried to follow the German lyrics and always ended up getting lost... This is perfect, each syllable in synch... the English translation seems a bit off sometimes (Google translate?) but it gives the general idea... I had never realized the polyphonic complexity of this piece (particularly 16:14 - 18:14), truly an epic masterpiece... Thank you so much for this video!! :)

[@tjarsun]

10:55 - 12:17 is the most complex part, and my favourite by far!

[@BrettonFerguson]

It is much better if you speak German and don't need Google translate. When translated the word order changes and things. This video is the best though. Other attempts to add subtitles, with just one line of subtitles at the bottom, is doomed to fail from the start.

[@dan74695]

Tamara Jarsun 16:42 - 1814 is a fugato, so it's also very complex.

[@Roncace]

As difficult as Beethoven was said to be in person, he nonetheless had a great heart. This song is great proof of that.

Great work. Always wanted to know the words wanted to do more then just hum the melody. But to actually see them come together is awesome.

Thank you for this work! Absolutely appreciate this. I have never sung German before. I may have been able to get by with "Danka shan" (pardon the spelling). But a thousand thanks for providing the translation and the words. I have had to sit with dict.cc to try and decipher the words in most of this piece. And I am not quite there at the end, but I am grateful for where I am on the journey!!!

[@anitagutierrez-rios8967]

¡Genial! ¡Muchas gracias y saludos desde Venezuela! 😊

[@necrose002]

honestly I don't think Beethoven intended he part at 12:50 to be the famous memorable part....if u think bout the whole setup of Ode to Joy its the world's attempt to achieve everlasting Joy...and even tho the 12:50 choral is memorable...its still a failed attempt hence the monotone afterwards...I think the very end the last 30 secs were suppose to be what was remembered when Joy was finally achieved

[@jmitterii2]

The entire thing was supposed to tell a story. What highlights you remembered is what you got from the story. That's would be my understanding of Beethoven. What I get from it is not what you're getting. As far as when Joy is achieved, it does it many moments all through it. Seriously, even in the middle, a portion about running like a hero to victory, and its different types of joy, mysterious joy, hopeful joy, triumphant joy, lost joy, let the losers fuck themselves I'm going to be joyful joy and shove it in their face and make them puke joy... all types of joy. Annoying joy, monotone joy, silly joy, and ironically some mournful joy talking about the Sternenzelt in some areas, but that could be mysterious joy, ah at the unknown, and need for some magical daddy "who must live beyond the stars".... makes me think Beethoven is telling us to venture into space... which agree. We probably won't find a magical daddy, but we will discover amazing things to add to things to be joyful about. Even if we discover nasty unhappy things, we can be joyful we discovered them and will learn from them the best we can.

[@tafanoprussiano]

@@jmitterii2 You talk about a "magical daddy" just to make fun of the Christians (Van Beethoven and Schiller included) and take them the joy you've managed to build yourself with your nonsense

[@davidgo8874]

20:28 - 21:24 the most beautiful singing

[@zombieperson620]

This probably has the most beautiful Tenor section in like every music ever created. That 21:08 "dein sanf- ter Flügel weilt." gets me everytime...
