Final answer:
The text sung by the four soloists and the chorus in Beethoven’s ninth symphony is Schiller’s “Ode to Joy”.
Explanation:
The four vocal soloists and a chorus that were added in the final movement of Beethoven’s ninth symphony sing the text of Schiller’s “Ode to Joy”. This symphony departs from the norms of the day by incorporating vocal soloists and a choir into a symphony, a format traditionally reserved for orchestral instruments. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is noted for its length, the innovative use of musical styles, and the combination of a large orchestra with a choir. It concludes with a finale that revolutionized the symphony form by setting to music the text that speaks of joy and brotherly love among all humankind.
