Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has held musical audiences captive for
close to two centuries. Few other musical works hold such a
prominent place in the collective imagination; each generation
rediscovers the work for itself and makes it its own. Honing in on
the significance of the symphony in contemporary culture, this book
establishes a dialog between Beethoven's world and ours, marked by
the earthshattering events of 1789 and of 1989. In particular, this
book outlines what is special about the Ninth in millennial
culture. In the present day, music is encoded not only as score but
also as digital technology. We encounter Beethoven 9 flashmobs,
digitally reconstructed concert halls, globally synchonized
performances, and other time-bending procedures. The digital
artwork 9 Beet Stretch even presents the Ninth at glacial speed
over twenty-four hours, challenges our understanding of the
symphony, and encourages us to confront the temporal dimension of
Beethoven's music. In the digital age, the Ninth emerges as a
musical work that is recomposed and reshaped-and that is robust
enough to live up to such treatment-continually adapting to a
changing world with changing media.
