The concluding section of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, known as “Ode to Joy,” has been embraced as the anthem for the European Union, embodying the unity, diversity, and common principles among its member nations. Officially selected in 1985 by the European Community, the forerunner of the EU, this timeless composition surpasses linguistic and cultural divides, representing the timeless values of freedom and unity. Although lacking formal lyrics, the melody itself effectively communicates the essence of a continent unified by mutual regard, collaboration, and collective ambitions.
