This “oldie but a goodie” is almost 200 years old. Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1824, his Ninth Symphony is known as “The Choral” because it combined an orchestra with a chorus and four vocal soloists in the fourth movement. The main melody has been covered by many folk musicians. My first banjo book in 1965 was “How to Play the 5-String Banjo” by Pete Seeger. In it was a short passage in Pete’s “bum diddy” style (a variation on frailing.) I’ve since arranged it in three treatments: the basic chord melody, an up-tempo bluegrass version, and the basic version embellished in a way I imagine a harpsichordist might play it. Cheers.
