Stan: The Choral Finale to Beethoven's Ninth is one of my most favorite pieces of music. I was privilieged once, almost 40 years ago, to sing it with the full Dayton (Ohio) Philharmonic behind us. It ranks as one of the highlight musical ezperiences of my singing career. Upon finishing, there was such a transport of emotion that I felt I'd transcended Earth itself. It is, truly, a very moving piece of poetry; set to music of Beethoven it's pure Heaven. Dave Ross Denver

I've never missed a chance to hear the 9th when it was performed anywhere near me. I've heard in in the Lincoln Center and in Washington. Every time I choke up for its beauty. It simply is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. I've told my wife many a time that if I should lie on my deathbed I'd like to hear the 9th and I'll go peacefully and happy. I'm glad others get the same emotional high as I do from this music. Sometimes I think there must be something wrong with me to get so emotional just from music.
