I have no affiliation with the author-I just thought this was cute-anyone know the name of the piece of music?

Little Girl & Musician

[chrisser]

Sounds like part of Beethoven’s 9th.

[yuleeyahoo]

Joyful, joyful we adore thee. -Beethoven

[Nevadan]

Beethoven 9th Symphony Ode to Joy

[yuleeyahoo]

Sorry, Ode to Joy.

[AppyPappy]

I’m not sure I see what the little girl has to do with it. It was a staged event.

[RedMDer]

[NEMDF]

OMG that was amazing!! Thank you. Loved the child on the light pole. This kind of thing makes my screen go all blurry, though.

[Kartographer]

I swear I saw this guy in the audience!

[Sir Napsalot]

Yes, it was a staged event pretending to be spontaneous. The little girl is (was) pretty wooden.

Must be a commercial for the ensemble somewhere.

[VanDeKoik]

I really cant stand Buzzfeed or The Blaze style clickbait, so I can assume that this kid gave a street musician a coin and he played Beethoven’s 9th.

Is that the “amazing” thing that took place?

[stboz]

And to think that Beethoven was stone deaf when he wrote it...Germany’s got talent.

[Germany’s got talent.]

“Ode to Joy” was God-inspired. Give credit where credit is due.

[Larry381]

For some reason that video reminded me of what ‘Old Europe’ was like before it decided to commit suicide.

[NorthstarMom]

Here’s how my kids learned to remember the name:
(Sing to the chorus)
Joyful joyful was Beethoven
when he wrote his number nine.
Though he could not hear the music
He knew that it was sublime.

[LouAvul]

Toward the end there was a ad requesting donations to “rachel.” What was that?

[Hiddigeigei]

Here's another one:
Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus

[Hiddigeigei]

“Ode to Joy” was God-inspired. Give credit where credit is due.

Friedrich Schiller had something to do with it, too.

[EinNYC]

Staged, schmaged. I enjoyed it IMMENSELY anyway!

[Don W]

That's "Ode to Joy".

There are several of these.

My personal fave Flashmob

Another really good one
