Walter used Beethoven’s example of finding joy in the midst of suffering to talk about the value of celebrating joy even when times are hard. (He was going to start listing all the ways in which we’ve been feeling hardship and loss lately, but the music got him too choked up.) This Ode to Joy flash mob and this version of Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee were a part of the talk, and there were references to this important sermon by Munther Isaac. You can listen to Walter’s talk below, and view his powerpoint here.
