Gulakowski) Subject: [kl] Re: Beethoven - religious- Ode to Joy - not!It
may not be what Beethoven wrote, but I'll betcha more people recognizeit as
Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee (text by Henry van Dyke long afterBeethoven's
death) than as Ode to Joy.

========================================================================

Well, I could put joyful text to the Dies Irae, but it still is the Dies
Irae. So can the original tune be separated from the original text, and
still be what the composer intended? My answer is - no. Plagiaristic to
me.....
