Scholars have debated whether the Odes should be considered Jewish, Christian or Gnostic, and whether they were first written in Greek, Hebrew or Syriac. Early Christian writings refer to and quote From them. A Syriac manuscript containing the text of most of the Odes was discovered in 1909 by the English scholar J. Rendel Harris, and other partial texts in various languages have also been found. there are 42 Odes. Some fragments are still missing From Odes I and III, and no part of Ode II has yet been found. For these choral settings, I selected text From four of the Odes of Solomon which I found particularly compelling. the anonymous translation I have used comes From the Gnostic Society Library.  less

"Ode an die Freude" / cf. "Ode to Joy" (1785): O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen und freudenvollere. Freude! Freude! Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligthum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die MOde streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
