Bits and bobs from Killmon, Matt S.
10,000 Singers - Symphony No. 9, Fourth Movement (“Ode to Joy”) (Osaka-jō Hall, 2011)
What it says on the tin. Ten-thousand (non-professional) Japanese singers, wailing the shit out of some Ludwig Van.
Pretty amazing.
Sanity Break: 10,000 member choir sings Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”
In this video from Osaka, Japan, a 10,000 member amateur choir performs the “Ode to Joy” section of Beethoven’s Symphony Number Nine. The concert is an annual event, but this year’s performance — recorded in late December 2011 — was dedicated to the victims of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Merry Christmas!
Completely awesome. Other people that use...word awesome do not know what
Beautiful. I can hardly say anything else except that it’s worth watching from beginning to end with the volume up.
