This version is used as the official European Hymn and is taken from Beethoven's 9th Symphony. He composed it in 1824, about 40 years after Schiller wrote the text. There is also a Schubert setting: “An die Freude” D189 (1815) and I know of a German Folksong using the text... I will try to find it... Would be interesting to compare these different versions...
