Hymn History | Ode to Joy

Today, on the 247th anniversary of his birth, we celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven's masterpiece "Ode to Joy." Beethoven was completely deaf when he embarked on this masterpiece, and it's a tragedy that he never heard a single note of it except inside his head. At the end of the symphony's first performance the German composer, who had been directing the piece and was consequently facing the orchestra, had to be turned around by the contralto Caroline Unger so that he could see the audience's ecstatic reaction. Beethoven had been unaware of the tumultuous roars of applause behind him.

This is the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth and last Symphony. The German composer was increasingly aware of his declining health and spent seven years working on this symphony, starting the work in 1818 and finishing early in 1824. The symphony is one of the best known works of the Western classical repertoire and is considered one of Beethoven's masterpieces.

Hymn History | How Great Thou Art

“How Great Thou Art” is listed as the second most popular hymn in the United States (behind “Amazing Grace”) by Christianity Today and England’s most popular hymn according to BBC One’s 2013 national survey.

Originally written as a poem by Carl Gustav Broberg, a Swedish Baptist in the midst of persecution. Broberg was inspired while admiring the “awesome wonder” of the Lord’s handiwork observing a storm and its dissipation.  The lyrics were translated into German and then Russian, when it became a hymn. English missionary to Russia Stuart K. Hine translated the song into his native tongue and added two verses to create the popular version.

The hymn is one of the most recorded songs in history, with over seventeen hundred documented recordings. The hymn has been featured by many popular artists. Elvis Presley posthumously received six Grammy’s; however, he won four Grammy’s during his lifetime. Half of them are for this song and the album “How Great Thou Art.” George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows sang the song during the Billy Graham crusades. Recently, Pentatonix, Jennifer Hudson, and Carrie Underwood (in a duet with Vince Gill, seen below) have all recorded successful versions of the song that largely glorifies God.

Praise Hymn Fashions invites you to watch Carrie Underwood and Vince Gill sing the song and consider the greatness of God.
