135-1581: A concerto sonata form with double exposition (with the fugato acting both as a development section and the second tutti of the concerto). The text is largely taken from Friedrich Schiller 's " Ode to Joy ", with a few additional introductory words written specifically by Beethoven (shown in italics). The text, without repeats, is shown below, with a translation into English. The score includes many repeats. O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere. Oh friends, not these sounds! Let us instead strike up more pleasing and more joyful ones! Freude! Freude! Joy! Joy! Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, Daughter from Elysium , We enter, burning with fervour, heavenly being, your sanctuary! Your magic brings together what custom has sternly divided. All men shall become brothers, wherever your gentle wings hover. Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein; Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!

On December 20, 2011, Perry released the single "Marilyn Monroe", which featured production by frequent Missy Elliott co-producer, Cainon Lamb . The song would generally meet favorable reception from musical peers like Beyoncé , who featured the song on her official website. In 2012, Perry collaborated with SWV ("Do Ya"), Pusha T ("Red Cup"), and Victoria Monet ("Hate Ya Past");
225-416: A kind of concerto form (with bars 1–207 and 208–330 together making up a double exposition), or even a conflation of four symphonic movements into one (with bars 331–594 representing a Scherzo, and bars 595–654 a slow movement). The reason these arguments are interminable is that each interpretation contributes something to the understanding of the movement, but does not represent the whole story. Cook gives
270-463: A massive coda that takes up nearly a quarter of the movement, as in Beethoven's Third and Fifth Symphonies . A performance of the first movement typically lasts about 15 minutes. The second movement is a scherzo and trio . Like the first movement, the scherzo is in D minor, with the introduction bearing a passing resemblance to the opening theme of the first movement, a pattern also found in
315-614: A melody that foreshadows "Ode to Joy". Although most of Beethoven's major works had been premiered in Vienna, the composer planned to have his latest compositions performed in Berlin as soon as possible, as he believed he had fallen out of favor with the Viennese and the current musical taste was now dominated by Italian operatic composers such as Rossini . When his friends and financiers learned of this, they pleaded with Beethoven to hold
360-416: A series of variations on the "Joy" theme. But this is rather a loose formulation, at least by comparison with the way in which many twentieth-century critics have tried to codify the movement's form. Thus there have been interminable arguments as to whether it should be seen as a kind of sonata form (with the "Turkish" music of bar 331, which is in B ♭ major, functioning as a kind of second group), or
405-401: A way that, when coupled with the tempo, makes it sound as if it is in quadruple time . While adhering to the standard compound ternary design (three-part structure) of a dance movement (scherzo-trio-scherzo or minuet-trio-minuet), the scherzo section has an elaborate internal structure; it is a complete sonata form. Within this sonata form, the first group of the exposition (the statement of
450-459: Is a choral symphony , the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven , composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music and one of the supreme achievements in the history of music. One of the best-known works in common practice music , it stands as one of
495-526: Is an American rapper and actress from Miami-Dade County, Florida . She was the youngest act signed to Missy Elliott 's label The Goldmind Inc.

SECTION 10
#1732766163800540-472: Is in four movements . The structure of each movement is as follows: Beethoven changes the usual pattern of Classical symphonies in placing the scherzo movement before the slow movement (in symphonies, slow movements are usually placed before scherzi). This was the first time he did this in a symphony, although he had done so in some previous works, including the String Quartet Op. 18 no. 5 ,
585-507: The Hammerklavier piano sonata , written a few years earlier. At times during the piece, Beethoven specifies one downbeat every three bars—perhaps because of the fast tempo—with the direction ritmo di tre battute (rhythm of three beats) and one beat every four bars with the direction ritmo di quattro battute (rhythm of four beats). Normally, a scherzo is in triple time . Beethoven wrote this piece in triple time but punctuated it in
630-646: The "Archduke" piano trio Op. 97 , the Hammerklavier piano sonata Op. 106 . And Haydn , too, had used this arrangement in a number of his own works such as the String Quartet No. 30 in E ♭ major , as did Mozart in three of the Haydn Quartets and the G minor String Quintet . The first movement is in sonata form without an exposition repeat . It begins with open fifths (A and E) played pianissimo by tremolo strings. The opening, with its perfect fifth quietly emerging, resembles
675-422: The tenor and bass / baritone parts, respectively. Although the performance was officially conducted by Michael Umlauf , the theatre's Kapellmeister , Beethoven shared the stage with him. However, two years earlier, Umlauf had watched as the composer's attempt to conduct a dress rehearsal for a revision of his opera Fidelio ended in disaster. So this time, he instructed the singers and musicians to ignore
720-910: The 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe , and later the European Union , as the Anthem of Europe . In 2001, Beethoven's original, hand-written manuscript of the score, held by the Berlin State Library , was added to the Memory of the World Programme Heritage list established by the United Nations , becoming the first musical score so designated. The Philharmonic Society of London originally commissioned
765-600: The Breitkopf edition, some of which were "remarkable". David Levy , however, criticized this edition, saying that it could create "quite possibly false" traditions. Breitkopf also published a new edition by Peter Hauschild in 2005. The symphony is scored for the following orchestra. These are by far the largest forces needed for any Beethoven symphony; at the premiere, Beethoven augmented them further by assigning two players to each wind part. Woodwinds Brass Percussion Strings The symphony
810-494: The Vienna Music Society ( Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde ), and a select group of capable amateurs. While no complete list of premiere performers exists, many of Vienna's most elite performers are known to have participated. The soprano and alto parts were sung by two famous young singers of the day, both recruited personally by Beethoven: Henriette Sontag and Caroline Unger . German soprano Henriette Sontag
855-524: The age of 7, under the supervision of her uncles, Brianna Perry made her first recording at the Poe Boy Music Group studios. Her frequent visits to the studio would accumulate the attention of rappers Trina and Trick Daddy , the former who would grant Perry a recording deal with Diva Records (Diva Enterprises/DP Entertainment). From there, Perry guest starred on BET 's Rap City and made her rapping debut on Trina's Diamond Princess on
900-435: The air, hats, and raised hands, so that Beethoven, who they knew could not hear the applause, could at least see the ovations. The first German edition was printed by B. Schott's Söhne (Mainz) in 1826. The Breitkopf & Härtel edition dating from 1864 has been used widely by orchestras. In 1997, Bärenreiter published an edition by Jonathan Del Mar . According to Del Mar, this edition corrects nearly 3,000 mistakes in
945-528: The almost completely deaf Beethoven. At the beginning of every part, Beethoven, who sat by the stage, gave the tempos. He was turning the pages of his score and beating time for an orchestra he could not hear. There are a number of anecdotes concerning the premiere of the Ninth. Based on the testimony of some of the participants, there are suggestions that the symphony was under-rehearsed (there were only two complete rehearsals) and somewhat uneven in execution. On

#1732766163800990-496: The audience's cheers and applause. According to the critic for the Theater-Zeitung , "the public received the musical hero with the utmost respect and sympathy, listened to his wonderful, gigantic creations with the most absorbed attention and broke out in jubilant applause, often during sections, and repeatedly at the end of them." The audience acclaimed him through standing ovations five times; there were handkerchiefs in
1035-416: The complete second movement is about 14 minutes when two frequently omitted repeats are played. The third movement is a lyrical, slow movement in B ♭ major —the subdominant of D minor's relative major key, F major . It is in a double variation form , with each pair of variations progressively elaborating the rhythm and melodic ideas. The first variation, like the theme, is in 4 time,
1080-645: The concert in Vienna, in the form of a petition signed by a number of prominent Viennese music patrons and performers. Beethoven, flattered by the adoration of the Viennese, premiered the Ninth Symphony on 7 May 1824 in the Theater am Kärntnertor in Vienna along with the overture The Consecration of the House ( Die Weihe des Hauses ) and three parts (Kyrie, Credo and Angus Dei) of the Missa solemnis . This
1125-483: The finale is the longest of the four movements. Indeed, it is longer than several entire symphonies composed during the Classical era . Its form has been disputed by musicologists, as Nicholas Cook explains: Beethoven had difficulty describing the finale himself; in letters to publishers, he said that it was like his Choral Fantasy , Op. 80, only on a much grander scale. We might call it a cantata constructed round
1170-426: The first theme (bars 19-20 of the first movement). The fourth subdivision that follows develops bars 1-4 of the second theme (bars 80-83 of the first movement) for three times: first in A minor, then to F major twice. At the outset of the recapitulation (which repeats the main melodic themes) in bar 301, the theme returns, this time played fortissimo and in D major , rather than D minor . The movement ends with
1215-410: The following table describing the form of the movement: In line with Cook's remarks, Charles Rosen characterizes the final movement as a symphony within a symphony, played without interruption. This "inner symphony" follows the same overall pattern as the Ninth Symphony as a whole, with four "movements": Rosen notes that the movement can also be analysed as a set of variations and simultaneously as
1260-677: The future symphony. The Choral Fantasy , Op. 80, composed in 1808, basically an extended piano concerto movement, brings in a choir and vocal soloists for the climax. The vocal forces sing a theme first played instrumentally, and this theme is reminiscent of the corresponding theme in the Ninth Symphony. Going further back, an earlier version of the Choral Fantasy theme is found in the song " Gegenliebe " ("Returned Love") for piano and high voice, which dates from before 1795. According to Robert W. Gutman, Mozart 's Offertory in D minor, "Misericordias Domini", K. 222, written in 1775, contains
1305-441: The instruments and sing all the chorus parts. —The actual direction was in [Louis] Duport's hands; we musicians followed his baton only. Reportedly, the scherzo was completely interrupted at one point by applause. Either at the end of the scherzo or the end of the symphony (testimonies differ), Beethoven was several bars off and still conducting; the contralto Caroline Unger walked over and gently turned Beethoven around to accept
1350-576: The latter being featured on Perry's mixtape, Symphony No. 9: The B Collection . Additionally, Perry would go on to collaborate with Trina on a visual titled "Girl Talk". In June 2014, Perry starred as a regular cast-member for the Oxygen reality series Sisterhood of Hip Hop , where a portion of her promotional material ("I'm That B.I.T.C.H.", "Since U Left" ) was previewed via various episodes. In 2016 she released T.O.B (Them Other Bitches)” that featured her co-star Lee Mazin, while she also featured in
1395-521: The low strings. Following this, the "Ode to Joy" theme is finally introduced by the cellos and double basses. After three instrumental variations on this theme, the human voice is presented for the first time in the symphony by the baritone soloist, who sings words written by Beethoven himself: '' O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!' Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere .'' ("Oh friends, not these sounds! Let us instead strike up more pleasing and more joyful ones!"). At about 25 minutes in length,

1440-458: The main melodic themes) starts out with a fugue in D minor on the subject below. For the second subject, it modulates to the unusual key of C major . The exposition then repeats before a short development section , where Beethoven explores other ideas. The recapitulation (repeating of the melodic themes heard in the opening of the movement) further develops the exposition's themes, also containing timpani solos. A new development section leads to
1485-524: The most frequently performed symphonies in the world. The Ninth was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. The final (4th) movement of the symphony, commonly known as the Ode to Joy , features four vocal soloists and a chorus in the parallel key of D major. The text was adapted from the " An die Freude (Ode to Joy) ", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with additional text written by Beethoven. In
1530-418: The other hand, the premiere was a great success. In any case, Beethoven was not to blame, as violinist Joseph Böhm recalled: Beethoven himself conducted, that is, he stood in front of a conductor's stand and threw himself back and forth like a madman. At one moment he stretched to his full height, at the next he crouched down to the floor, he flailed about with his hands and feet as though he wanted to play all
1575-486: The project was never released. In 2006, due to creative differences, Perry parted ways with Elliott on good terms. In 2007, Perry readied a mixtape, Princess of Miami , with Slip-N-Slide recording affiliates and former mentor Missy Elliott. In 2008, Perry announced work on a debut album tentatively titled Girl Talk , alongside a film project with Malcolm in the Middle actor Frankie Muniz , however neither project
1620-423: The repeat of the recapitulation, and the scherzo concludes with a brief codetta . The contrasting trio section is in D major and in duple time. The trio is the first time the trombones play. Following the trio, the second occurrence of the scherzo, unlike the first, plays through without any repetition, after which there is a brief reprise of the trio, and the movement ends with an abrupt coda. The duration of
1665-437: The second in 8 . The variations are separated by passages in 4 , the first in D major, the second in G major , the third in E ♭ major , and the fourth in B major . The final variation is twice interrupted by episodes in which loud fanfares from the full orchestra are answered by octaves by the first violins. A prominent French horn solo is assigned to the fourth player. A typical performance of
1710-453: The sound of an orchestra tuning up , steadily building up until the first main theme in D minor at bar 17. Before the development enters, the tremolous introduction returns. The development can be divided into four subdivisions, with adheres strictly to the order of themes. The first and second subdivisions are the development of bars 1-2 of the first theme (bars 17-18 of the first movement) . The third subdivision develops bars 3-4 of
1755-462: The symphony in 1817. Beethoven made preliminary sketches for the work later that year with the key set as D minor and vocal participation also forecast. The main composition work was done between autumn, 1822 and the completion of the autograph in February, 1824. The symphony emerged from other pieces by Beethoven that, while completed works in their own right, are also in some sense forerunners of
1800-451: The third movement lasts around 15 minutes. The choral finale is Beethoven's musical representation of universal brotherhood based on the " Ode to Joy " theme and is in theme and variations form. The movement starts with an introduction in which musical material from each of the preceding three movements—though none are literal quotations of previous music —are successively presented and then dismissed by instrumental recitatives played by
