In 2020 Schott Music Mainz celebrates its 250th anniversary under the motto ‘Joy of Music’. In doing so, the publishing house pays tribute to one of its most famous composers: Ludwig van Beethoven had his Ninth Symphony with the famous final chorus ‘Ode to Joy’ published exclusively by Schott in 1826. The Joy of Music is a small ode to the joy of singing. The children's choir can be divided into groups that sing alternating between loud and soft, high and low or beautiful and untuneful voice.
