Hymn, 'Come, Ye Thankful People, Come' (A. and M., No. 382)
Beethoven did not often write 'pictorial' music. In this Symphony he certainly had different country scenes in his mind, though he was careful to say that the music was 'more the expression of feeling than painting.'
The earlier Movements are entitled respectively Awakening of Joyful Feelings on Arrival in the Country, By the Brooklet, and A Village Festival, interrupted by A Thunderstorm. The Last Movement (the one we are now to hear) is A Shepherd's Song of Thanksgiving after the Storm.
