A Little Girl Plays For A Street Musician And Gets The Best Surprise In Return 

It will be, but not soon enough cos it’s not today

Imagine if Gazans had time to care.

And on the streets of Beautiful South Africa! I am an eighty year old South African.

Praise god. Receive him today. . He loves you !!

OMG ... I'm so glad you said that . I'm 54, and part way through the tears started rolling. So beautiful!❤

@@bonnieinthespirit6373 That's exactly the words in the poem of 9th symphony!!!!

You, too?

I just thought it was *REALLY* convenient that she played a song the whole orchestra and chorus was prepared to play at the drop of a dime... /s was coming here to say the same thing. She was part of the performance.

Ditto! I usually don't care for staged events, but this was an exception. It was magical!

the little girl is the conductors daughter

Sometimes it's nice to not state the obvious and just enjoy watching the always building performance.

@@talosray still such a beautiful version of this song. You can hear the love they have for their craft and the passion they have for it

Or even that music IS the religion. The PATH to love!

I know how you feel I live in the UK

There is nothing that brings people together more than song. As my son was growing up here in Montreal CA. we would travel around by the metro system and it would always be a highlight of the day if there were a musician preforming, something we would always stop and watch.

This video is everything that's right about this world.

76 in TX and feel the same way

Wow! There's a whole lot of sadness in your comment! I'm praying that God keep you safe!

I so agree. What a contrast to war and destruction.

Brought tears to my eyes!

I tried not to cry but they really killed it

Good morning Troy, I am assuming you are a male as per your name - all I can say is that you are a "real" and complete man and human being as evidenced by your admission and true ability to simply cry. I'm very serious - I think the majority of males are actually embarrassed to weep. So sad but true. As a male I have no difficulties whatsoever with shedding tears when appropriate or not. God bless 'ya and all the best to you and yours, Terry

The one thing that flash mob teaches us is that different as we are like instruments, if we come other we will live in a better world.

I do

Me too. This piece by Beethoven never gets tiring to listen too.

Love it when they finally get together and the choir comes in strong!

Definitely

Yes, I'm becoming obsessed with these videos

Wasnt it also told that he got several standing ovations, even?

He can’t be that good since he hasn’t made a new music in almost 200 years.

@@JamesL0717 😂😂😂😂😂😂

And to think he composed this masterpiece whilst totally deaf!

@@JamesL0717 Out of work.

Amen!!!!

Really ! Ja ! Wir brauchen mehr davon - mehr Musik - die Musik bringt die Menschen zusammen und stimmt sie fröhlich und friedlich. Wie schön, dass es die Musik gibt und Menschen, die sie anderen Menschen zum Geschenk machen.

It is very true< music is the best to keep the people together in love and peace. With other words< make music (love) not war!

I do so hope you told her of the beauty you heard and encouraged her to always play on.

Exactly This is how it should have looked

Das war 2014! Und es war vor dem Sündenfall dem Islam in unserem Land Tür und Tor zu öffnen! Wie wohltuend all die Menschen zu sehen ohne diese ganzen herumlungernden jungen Moslems die diese Kultur hassen und sich nicht mit Christen verbrüdern wollen!

You are not weeping alone

Because your soul has been touched and connected to pure love.

Just as I am...it's because we are human.

Me too.

Because men start to Lose Testosterone at age 30❓️ All kidding aside, the "Ode To Joy" is a fun piece, but the only piece of music I can Not listen to in Public is "I Vow To Thee My Country". I lose my normally Stoic composure Every time.

And the angels gathered about to sing glory unto the savior!

That's when fine arts won over crappy modern day music

Lol. I loved that!

@@somnorthport1560 how long have rap and hip hop been around, 20 maybe 30 years? Well, the Romantic movement was around for just a century or two so... WHATS REAL AND RELEVANT NOW BEYOTCH?!?!

How about old couple after

He was probably just confused what was going on and why a 2 foot long ultra hd 4k camera was pointed at his face😂

Thank you for the interesting trivia

Iyt was staged but most of the people were just there, it was one of those flash mobs, there's one in the USA that does things like this in random places and it's very cool because the people just walking around, shopping, or whatever had no clue and then all of a sudden the event happens and you can tell people that werent in on the act are totally taken by surprise

thanks for the comment...you provided a great jump-off point for others to learn and appreciate classical music.

Now that is really cool, the bit about the POWs! I think I remember that the Ninth was composed after Beethoven started to go deaf? A true masterpiece!

Thank you for the history!

What an apt and very cool observation. You have me asking myself why that never occurred to me.

My parish choir in rural Australia use to sing, always brought the appropriate response! Great!

That's the good 'ol Van B. for you. A true master of his craft, no doubt

You must be one very cool person ! 🎉

Yes, it moves me to tears too.

Always

If you look at the history of the world, it is now the least fragmented and detached it has ever been. There has been no other time in the world’s history that the people as a whole are more connected. But with that comes a deluge of information of everything going on in the world both heartfelt and heartbreaking. As humans that are so fragile in our existence, we tend to focus and remember the heart breaking as a form of survival mechanism. So this is really the connectivity paradox. The more you are connected the more you feel disconnected.

@@charlesgoodis6302 They were expressing how they felt. Why did you have to analyze them?

Dear Volker, I consider your statement A Message From God because you mentioned Let It Be along with Ode To Joy. I live in Saratoga Springs, NY and am going to orchestrate a Flash Mob that includes Cannon in D as the melody for Let It Be. Ode To Joy and Happy Birthday To You will be the other 3 songs I hope become thematic during my remains stay here in this fabulous town in Upstate NY.

D'accord

Me too.

❤

Truly creat music always seems to sound better when it's impromptu. Specially classical.

Grazie, per questi pensieri musicali.

Thought it was salieri and Mozart?

@@DanBeech-ht7sw It is true that Mozart can be said to be another of Salieri's pupils, although probably not in any formal sense. Since Salieri commonly wrote operas in multiple languages, it may have been Salieri's inspiration that caused Mozart to want to write opera in German. Salieri was by far the most popular composer of the two during Mozart's lifetime, and it seems they had a great deal of professional respect between them. The depiction in the movie of Salieri as a jealous and resentful man of little talent is pure fiction. The whole story of Salieri poisoning Mozart was malicious gossip and Mozart's death was not consistent with poisoning. He was described as having small bumps on his skin, and he had been weakened by exessive blood-letting the night before he died. His skull, which survives shows signs of fractures from several falls which he had experienced in the previous three years, and it is thought that it is likely that these caused a subdural hematoma. It should also be noted that Mozart had suffered from several serious diseases during his short life, including pneumonia, bronchitis, typhoid fever, rheumatism, and chronic gum disease, the combination of which would have weakened him, and there have been suggestions that rheumatic fever may have also played a role in his death. There could have been multiple factors involved, and the blood letting may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. The scuttlebutt about poisoning Mozart greatly affected Salieri, and he subsequently suffered from depression and multiple nervous breakdowns which would account for the decline in his career at that time. However the conspiracy theories surrounding Mozart's death has meant that the public has connected Salieri and Mozart in a way that is not supported by the facts, and Salieri fails to get his deserved recognition for his positive contributions to the creative output of so many great composers that were to follow.

Einferschtanden, besser Musik, stat Krieg.
