Woodstock Wind Chime, Ode To Joy

This majestic sounding wind chime is tuned to the theme of the famous finale of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor  (Ode to Joy), which premiered in Vienna in 1824. Given a standing  ovation, many in the audience enthusiastically waved hats and  handkerchiefs to show their appreciation for the composer who could not  hear the applause because he was almost totally deaf. Changing the text  from Ode to Joy" to "Ode to Freedom" and using musicians from around the  world, Leonard Bernstein conducted this symphony at the historic fall  of the Berlin Wall in 1989. No matter where you hang this classic  windchime, whether outdoors or in your home, may it remind you of joy  and freedom.The words in the choral finale were taken from a poem  by Friedrich Schiller, and the music from this movement has been  adopted as the official European Anthem.
Be embraced, millions!
This kiss for the whole world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
Must a loving Father dwell.
Do you bow down, millions?
Do you sense the Creator, world?
Seek Him beyond the starry canopy!
Beyond the stars must He dwell.  This chime carries a lifetime tuning guarantee. This chime was designed with a removable windcatcher  that can be taken to a trophy shop, printer or jeweler to be engraved or  silk-screened.
