West Point Organist Craig Williams plays the popular hymn "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" adapted from Ode to Joy in the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven, final movement. The stirring anthem uplifting humanity has naturally become the setting for a great hymn, and a tune which has been used to set many hymn texts - even the Pentecost Sequence in the Catholic tradition.
