[@davidecardullo1779]

art is one of the best things that humanity has ever created and as a musician I can tell you that playing together with someone else is the best feeling. You might then have this perception of music as a form of expression of how much good humanity is and then it might remember that, even though we have made so many mistakes in history, when we work together we can make wonderful things.

[@imagin77]

It's fixed girl. Get a grip.

[@patsmith7532]

The fact that Beethoven was completely deaf by the time he composed this, the final and most famous movement in his renowned 9th Symphony, is beyond incredible. He wrote "Ode to Joy" to accompany the words of a poem by the same name by the German poet and philosopher, Friedrich Schiller. It's a lyrical paean to the miracle of brotherhood, and what happiness can spark when mankind gathers as brothers under the sheltering wings of joy. My thanks to the conductor, the wonderful Rubén Gimeno, and all the musicians and singers who made this happen. I plan to watch this as my daily "happiness pill" from now on.

[@patsmith7532]

@@imac610 , I think you are right. I believe that is probably exactly how Beethoven did it. He had to have heard all the instruments in his head in order to compose such a beautiful piece, with such dramatic changes in mood and pacing building to that glorious finale.

[@pmacc3557]

stupid uneducated question: are conductors necessary? i ask with respect.

[@patsmith7532]

@@pmacc3557 , I am not a musician but used to sing in a choir and we would have been lost without our conductor. He kept everyone on the beat, let us know when to sing softly and when to belt it out...he really controlled everything about the performance and brought out our best. Think about what an orchestra is...dozens of people seated in a semi-circle playing many different types of instruments arranged in groups...brass, strings, rhythm...and often, as in this case, voices as well. They cannot all see each other, so without a conductor, even though they all have the same music, how would they know when to start? How could they all rise to a crescendo in unison if they were not following the rhythmic motion of a conductor's arms? I know that to some, conductors just look like a guy waving his arms around, but they are so much more than that. Think of them as the traffic cop at a busy intersection without lights. They control the flow of traffic with their arms and whistles in much the same way that a conductor controls the flow of music (minus the whistle, of course.) Without a conductor, an orchestra would not sound nearly so pleasing, melodic or synchronous.

These things make me cry. As a musician, I know how long it takes go coordinate these things and the effort that goes into learning the perfect timing and the rhythm. They must've worked very diligently to get all this together. It makes me cry happy tears because they do this for the people. They go and put in the effort to see the smiles and looks of awe and grandeur of such a beautiful performance. It's simply incredibly moving to my soul.

[@grayswandir47]

+Marissa S. Richards They bring a few minutes of classical music to people who may have never heard a live performance. I wonder if the little girl who dropped the coins in the hat was part of the show or just one of the tourists passing by. If the latter she got her moneys worth.

For those of you who keep saying this is fake because it's not spontaneous: No flashmob is spontaneous, they are often meticulously planned. If they were truly spontaneous, they would never happen since by definition, spontaneity requires a lack of premeditation. 50 people don't just show up in a public space and decide to dance to Beyonce without first communicating the idea to each other. You also missed the point of this video which was to enjoy the beauty of the music and the joy it brings to people.

Hola aquí desde Perú!! Formidable presentación y compartir la música clásica, me encantaron las pequeñas y pequeños que se contagiaron con la música. Es una buena forma de enseñar y no dejar perder estas grandiosas e históricas composiciones . Bendiciones.

The lyrics are probably in Victorian or venician English, far from what most people would understand. As far as I remember it sings of brotherhood and the joy of a prosperous family.

[@iridiaobs]

if you speak english as first language you probably isn't used to listen to music you don't understand, for example, my 1st language is portuguese, i was raised listening to songs in english without understanding a single word, and i've seen a lot of people in internet saying things like this, as a person who likes songs in korean. If there's something that i learned from kpop is that the language of the song doesn't really matter at all. It's a universal language. Feel it if you can.

[@bdmmanbdmman3526]

...as I get older, certain things are as good today as they were years ago. I discovered the classics in college and they saved me many times when my spirits were low. How one cannot Find joy while listening to something so moving and spiritual escapes me. I keep returning to watch this and other similar clips to remind me what a wonderful world we live in.

I'm a proud west London English European. I am very scared about something truly terrible and backward-looking happening in my country on June 23rd 2016 - the referendum,the most important vote of my life. Every day until then, this epic tremendous uplifting music is going through my head giving me hope,courage and fortitude. For all our sakes I pray Great Britain stays in and we all push on together.

[@rush1461]

why bring politics into music,,dont understand,,,?

[@CFCarePOO]

ALL of life is politics. Beethoven and Mozart were immersed in post-Napoleonic European politics. Wake up,smell the coffee and wish and pray that the despicable disgraceful shameless tone deaf demagogues Messrs Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, just like Hitler's Mum way back in 1889, had had abortions.Vote Hillary and save the planet FFS please Yank cousins.

[@fifiaames5935]

You are very weird. All of life is not politics, except for those who choose to make it everything. And people like that will always be unhappy, just like the people who choose to make everything a conspiracy. This is about art and music and beauty and joy; it has NOTHING to do w/ politics except to people like you.

It's crazy to see how music pulls people together. In a way musician is a super hero

[@tmwsiy7158]

Yes, it's an ad campaign. Yes, it was overdubbed in a studio and produced for video. But there were unaware people around, i'll bet the performance probably took place and was quite a spectacle for the unaware. And the power of music is translated through the video. Overall, really a nice thing, For those of you who "figured it out" as being a production....wow, can't pull one over on you. Lighten up...enjoy the production, nobody was trying to pull a massive earth shattering hoax or something. It's music.
