The idea for this tune was simple: Take the joyous and well-known "Ode To Joy" and use the names of lots of famous composers as the lyrics. To really do it up right, we set it to full orchestra playing parts of the last movement to Beethoven's 9th Symphony which is where the Ode originates. Your students will feel like professional singers! This song works great for your concerts, or just as a teaching tool for your music classes. And it will help kids remember the names of many famous composers. (from Music K-8, Vol. 16, No. 2)
