So, the Beethoven flash mob video is the ending of his Ninth Symphony. Words are by Schiller. They are secular--an ode to joy, but not to God. In 1907, Henry Van Dyke wrote the hymn text "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" to go with the Beethoven tune from the Ninth. It has become one of our most beloved hymns.
So sad to hear so many of you dislike classical voice (i.e. opera). I used to be an opera singer, and I find the style quite beautiful; however, as I matured in the Lord, I found the texts/storylines so inconsistent with my faith that I stopped singing it and now I pretty much only sing sacred music.

Oh that sounds impressive.
