What classical composition serves as the anthem for the European Union?

 

The anthem for the European Union is “Ode to Joy,” not the 1812 Overture, William Tell Overture, or Ride of the Valkyries. “Ode to Joy” is a renowned musical piece from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, celebrated for its themes of unity, brotherhood, and joy. While the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky is famous for its grandeur and use of cannons, the William Tell Overture by Rossini is known for its iconic “Lone Ranger” theme, and the Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner is a powerful orchestral piece, none of these compositions serve as the official anthem for the European Union, with “Ode to Joy” being the chosen musical emblem representing the unity of Europe.
