On the first time, The Nineth Symphony of Beethoven is kwoning like "Choral Symphony" because in the foursth and the last movement it is singing by a Tenor, Baritone, Soprano and Messo Soprano Voices with a Choral Voices that they are singing in another way the "joy song".
This symphony (the last one) of Beethoven was released the May 7th of 1821 when he was a deaf person, so he never could listen his composition years at 3 or 4 years after Beethoven died.
So it was his last composition, been for me the best compousers.
In the first movement of this Symphony "Allegro ma non troppo" begining with the introduction of wind instrument like oboe and the violas and violin continues the music and then continues with this music specially the wind instrument with a hard musical notes that it is characteristic of this 15 minutes music.
In the secong movement of this Simphony "Motto and Vivace" was introducing with wind intruments and then cord instrument who plays a 1/2 time musical note with ithe sound of the timbal and then continues with a soft movement. Besides of this in this 10 minute music the timbal plays only three times and fouth with a characteristical sound in this movement.
The third movement "Adagio molto a cantabile" is a movement with soft sounds of cord instrument like violas, violin and contrabass specially, that was interrumpted two times with a trumped song like a military song in 14 minute music. Besides of this description at the begining ot this movement in a concert the singer will sing on the 4th movement enter at the scene, preparing their song.
The fourth movement "Presto - Allegro assai" kwoning "joy song" is the Choral part of this symphony , so at the beging is the introduction speccially with cord musical instrument and then the principal song is playind a contrabass, and then continues the rest of the Symphony Orquestra. About the vocal part it begings with the Baritone voice who anounced a voice of Schlinder (Beethoven's friend) continuing with tha Tenor and then Soprano and Messo Soprano and the Chorus who repeats the Schlinder lyrics. In this part, Schlider wrote the poems that was the lyrics of this part with Beethoven music.
