  1. The European Dream "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony Freude, schöner GötterfunkenTöchter aus Elysium,Wir betreten feuertrunken,Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!Deine Zauber binden wiederWas die Mode streng geteilt;Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Ludwig van Beethoven born Bonn, Germany: December 17, 1770 died Vienna, Austria: March 26, 1827

  2. The European Dream "Ode to Joy" - from the Ninth Symphony composed in 1823 by Ludwig Van Beethoven • the anthem not only of the European Union but also of Europe in a wider sense - Beethoven set to music the "Ode to Joy" written in 1785 by Friedrich von Schiller; this poem expresses Schiller's idealistic vision of the human race becoming brothers - a vision Beethoven shared • in 1972, the Council of Europe (the same body that designed the European flag) adopted Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" theme as its own anthem - without words, in the universal language of music, this anthem expresses the ideals of freedom, peace and solidarity for which Europe stands • in 1985, it was adopted by EU heads of State and government as the official anthem of the European Union; not intended to replace the national anthems of the Member States but rather to celebrate the values they all share and their unity in diversity

  3. Schizophrenic Europe? What are we? • a disunited hotch-potch of selfish, squabbling and globally-impotent nation states? • a united continent of federated states able to stand up to the USA and other emerging power blocs? • an embryonic superstate one day to be ruled from Brussels and become one of the four major economic and military powers in the world? Where are we going?
