Thought you have heard all the versions of "Ode to Joy" and that there couldn't possibly be a new interpretation of the old favorite?

This version of Ode to Joy is NOT a transcription of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.  Instead, Lewis set out to write something a little better suited to the atmosphere of a wedding. 

His version of this ancient hymn is re-harmonized and altered in subtle ways that make it slightly different.  In this way, it is more appropriate for a wedding ceremony than the longer, more serious symphonic transcriptions. It works perfectly as wedding recessional music.
