Nathan’s Notes

Ludwig Van Beethoven was an interesting character. A myriad of anecdotal stories exist about the man – he was a grumpy old curmudgeon who counted his coffee beans every morning to make the perfect cup of joe. I find it very amusing that this grumpy man would be able to compose the beautiful melody that we sing today as our opening hymn. The well-known theme is Beethoven’s musical representation of “Universal Brotherhood”. The text we sing today is not the text Beethoven used as his inspiration, but is just as fun and engaging to sing!
