European Anthem

Yesterday Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union.
Now the European Union has 27 member states.
On this occassion I realized that most of the almost 500 million Europeans don't know the European Anthem!

The Council of European Ministers officially announced the European Anthem on January 19th 1972: the prelude to "The Ode to Joy", 4th movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th symphony.
