As you do.
My Favorite Version
A couple of weeks ago, my friend Merlin posted a video of a 10,000-member choir singing the “Ode to Joy” section of Beethoven’s Symphony Number Nine.
It’s pretty nice, and impressive even that they got everyone to sing the right notes at the same time.
But some of us prefer a slightly pared-down version, you know? One with a little more raw, spare power. One that compels the listener to actively fill in the gaps.
Here’s my favorite performance of the work. Sadly the performer is lost to history—there’s no credit for the ring tone on my daughter’s “Soony”-brand toy cell phone.

Conflicted feelings.
