Description
Electric Beethoven used a little-known but profound section of Beethovens Ninth Symphony as the basis for To Love the World. In the original composition, Beethoven used German poet Friedrich Schillers Ode to Joy as his muse inspired by its call for hope and brotherhood. While the excerpt takes a mere three minutes in its original form, the quartet divided it into five distinct sections and treated each one like its own statement outfitting them with their own mood, color, and groove. In present times of uncertainty and isolation, Reed Mathis felt Beethoven and Schillers sentiments come full circle as To Love the World can serve as the perfect incantation for modern-day improvisers to heal themselves from our wounded world.
