Ode to Joy Parts

We’re excited to make music with you at the Free Concert in St. Peters on June 7! Here are some instructions on how you can perform with us at the concert.

This arrangement of “Ode to Joy” is in the key of C. Choose your part based on your instrument’s primary clef and your playing level. For transposing instruments such as clarinet and trumpet, you’ll find transposed parts also available for download.

“Ode to Joy” will be played three times through:

  • First time: St. Louis Symphony Orchestra players only
  • Second time: Everyone who plays an instrument joins in playing with the SLSO players
  • Third time: Singers join everyone who plays an instrument

After you select your part, practice playing along with the listening link here. We can’t wait to make music together!

Ode to Joy Lyrics

Sing along with us during the performance!

Joyful voices raised together
Singing a great symphony
Ringing out with all our neighbors
Bonded by community

Music brings us all together
Sharing a song of unity
Joyful singing that we share with
Our St. Louis Symphony

Music brings us all together
Sharing a song of unity
Joyful singing that we share with
Our St. Louis Symphony
