Freude, Freude, Freude, Freude
The Hymn to Joy

see -below - also a Hebrew-English song about "Joy that forgot its cause"

2007_10_13 Freude, Freude, Freude, Freude     [2007_10_15 a recording of the difficult integration between the edited music and my singing, it is probably not by chance, that I just can't insert the first "Freude" at the exact moment...]

lyrics: Friedrich Schiller's poem, "Freude, schoener Goetterfunken" inspired Beethoven to his music, which became not only the most famous symphony on this planet, but also the hymn of United Europe. See all this in the Hebrew adaptation by Telma Aligon, "sing to the joy which is in us" I borrowed from the poem only the word "Freude", while the rest of the lyrics is mine. Maybe "lyrics" isn't the right term, The play with words expresses my greatest quest, my most ardent desire, my belief, that healing feeling into grate-full-ness will bring full-fill-ment, i.e. Heaven on Earth. [See my continuous coping~ groping with this especially since July 17, 2007]

Beethoven based his tune on a folksong! ~~~~~~~On the same tune I based a poem of mine, created In 1984, in order to make sense of Orwell's prophecy and the Hebrew year tashmad, rediscovered on July 4, 2013, and dedicated to my daughter-in-love's 47th birthday on July 5. May Beethoven forgive me for having manipulated the fourth part of his ninth symphony in a way, that I could adapt to it my lyrics. I isolated two small introductory passages, joined them, by putting the second before the first, Some hardly audible bars in major, interrupted by bars with the same tune but in minor, symbolize the hesitating, even sometimes regressing steps towards "FREUDE!" exclaimed twice by the basso and twice responded to by the choir, towards the eruption of the last stanza of "Joy, you beautiful spark of the Gods", sung majestically by the entire choir and vocal ensemble.

[on Sept. 3, 2009, I felt, I should exchange "zest-full" for "grate-full"
in the line which follows "Feel full-fill-ment, heal Full-fill-ment "]
Freude, Freude

Freude, Freude

Heal your feeling, feel your healing

into joy-full grate-full-ness

Feel full-fill-ment, heal full-fill-ment

joy-full, grate-full, grate-full-filled
zest-full, grate-full, grate-full-filled

/: feel, feel, heal, heal

into joy-full grate-full-ness

Feel full-fill-ment, heal full-fill-ment

joy-full, grate-full, grate-full-filled
zest-full, grate-full, grate-full-filled :/

How contrasting to this JOY was Schiller's life!
And though I never drugged myself with anything,
I 've known this "impossibility to live" all too well!

September 21, 2009, this time I replied to Lutz Goerner's group e-mail: "Koennen Sie sich vorstellen, dass eine 71 jaehrige Frau, christlich geboren in Stuttgart, in Arad - zwischen Totem Meer und Beersheva - Ihren Brief liest? Ja - unter ganz wenig ausgesuchten Fernsehprogrammen- bedacht ist, Ihre 10 Minuten "Lyrik fuer Alle" an jedem Sonntag nicht zu versaeumen? Vielleicht freuen Sie Ihrerseits sich an meiner Version von "Freude, Freude". Auf jeden Fall freut sich an Ihnen in Israel Christa-Rachel Bat-Adam

Ich habe für mich, und dadurch auch für Sie, einen blut- und glutvollen Schiller entdeckt. Einen Schiller mit Gefühlen, einen, der über sich selbst und von sich selbst erzählt. Einen, bei dem man mitleidet, bei dem man sich aber auch mitfreut. Einen Schiller, der drastisch ist und in seinem Gedicht ’Männer’ sagt: „Ich bin ein Mann, das könnt ihr schon an meiner Leier riechen“ und der das Gedicht beschließt mit den Zeilen „Wer keinen Menschen machen kann, der kann auch keinen lieben.“ Aber natürlich kommt auch der Schiller vor, der sagt: „Freiheit ist nur in dem Reich der Träume und das Schöne blüht nur im Gesang.“ "Freedom is only in the realm of dreams and beauty blossoms only in singing." I, Christa-Rachel Bat-Adam, am dedicated to realize "freedom" and to delight in "beauty" in every moment of my life.. Allerdings kommt in meinem Programm der Balladen-Schiller nicht vor und auch nicht der Lied-von-der-Glocke-Schiller. Stattdessen kommt der Theater-Schiller vor: „Wollt ihr in meinen Kasten sehn? Des Lebens Spiel, die Welt im Kleinen? Gleich soll sie eurem Aug erscheinen. Nur müsst ihr nicht zu nahe stehn. Ihr müsst sie bei der Liebe Kerzen Und nur bei Amors Fackel sehn.“ Der Theater-Schiller ist hochinteressant. ... Den Auftrittsmonolog des Räubers Karl Moor: „Mir ekelt vor diesem tintenkleckselnden Säkulum...“... Dann die Rede des Marquis Posa an Philipp II. aus ’Don Carlos’ mit dem berühmten Schlusssatz: „Geben Sie Gedankenfreiheit!“ Und einen Text aus ’Wilhelm Tell’, in den der Rütlischwur mit seinem: „Wir wollen sein ein einzig Volk von Brüdern…“, eingebettet ist. Leben.

Ich habe 35 Jahre gebraucht, bis ich bereit war, Ihnen Schiller mitzuteilen.
.... „Ich muss von der Schriftstellerei leben, also auf das sehen, was sie einträgt.
Für mich entscheidet der Gewinn.“
Und der gesagt hat:
„Und bitte, mein Lieber, nichts mehr von der Würde des Menschen.
Zu essen gebt uns, zu wohnen.
Und habt ihr auch noch die Blöße bedeckt,
gibt sich die Würde von selbst.“
Und der ebenfalls gesagt hat:
„Alles hier in Jena ist so alltägliche Ware
und die grimmigen Gesichter der so genannten Gelehrten
verscheuchen alles, was Freiheit und Freude atmet
und deshalb kann mich die Universität hier im Arsche lecken.“

Ich grüße Sie ganz herzlich aus Weimar,
der Stadt, in der Schiller vor gut 200 Jahren viel zu früh gestorben ist.
Jedoch in diesem Jahr gilt es,
seine Geburt vor 250 Jahren in Marbach am Neckar voller Freude zu feiern...

Winged with the Wings of Song
or
As a JOY that forgot its cause
See more in Learn&Live 4, November 6, 2010
Yitzchak Livneh is mentioned also in a remark about what made and makes Israel unique

I would like, I would like to be as the echo of the field's breath, As the play of the lights in space, Winged with the wings of Song, Swept along like a running wave, And driven like the wind; As a joy that forgot its cause.

Yitzchak Livneh, Nahalal, fell in what Israel calls "The War of Independence"..., in June 1948. He was a pianist, loved nature, had "a wondrous personality" and was the first boyfriend of Moshe Dayan's sister Aviva. "He chose to work with immigrant youth... His knowledge of the land made him an outstanding tracker." I once discovered this poem in "Perhaps", the original, English, autobiography of Rut Dayan, (1973) which she dedicated to me in 1977, when she helped me with meeting "important people" for my Partnership work. I re-discovered the poem in 2005, and - wishing to read the poem in the original Hebrew- searched for Rut, and she even came to Arad to meet me, during one of her visits to Lakiya, "her" Bedouin town. She then got hold of the Hebrew edition "Ulai", from a man who dealt with second-hand books. I tried to put the poem into tune already then, - in vain. Now, in November 2010, I feel elated by the line: As a JOY that forgot its cause But once again, I've a problem - not with the tune this time, but with the recording program (Soundbooth)! It trembled! After 3 attempts - of always inventing/recording a new tune - I recorded a fourth tune directly on my digital recorder, and after incredible effort (as usual) to learn it by heart, sang it again, clearly, and transferred it to "Soundbooth". This action succeeded and from there I created a soundbutton

The images and subtitles show step for step, how Immanuel coped with the sophisticated recipe of the Fabergé Eggs

"within a second you can ruin it"

"Zohar is a part of our team"

"It was very important for me to help Zohar" [while his own job had to wait...]

Mutual help Though Yossi later got into trouble himself, at this point of the process he not only helps Zohar, but also Sima. Zohar will be the one, who'll be dismissed, despite Yossi's help. While Sima will star next to Immanuel

"Immanuel, does this have to be more solid?" "No, it's alright. Is it before you added the milk? "Yes" - "Then it's alright"
