"Joyful Joyful" Royal Wedding Version

(YouTube link)

Saturday, Prince Carl Philip of Sweden married Sofia Hellqvist in Stockholm. For the recessional, Samuel Ljungblahd and the choir By Grace performed “Joyful Joyful,” in the arrangement from Sister Act 2. It seems a bit incongruous for the occasion, but it’s nice to hear while looking at the royal couple and their numerous royal relatives and guests.

YOU HAVE NOT LIVED UNTIL YOU’VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF WHITE ROYALS TRY AND CLAP TO A GOSPEL TUNE.

The Lauren Hill version from the movie is here. You can see photos and gifs from the wedding At Buzzfeed.

"YOU HAVE NOT LIVED UNTIL YOU’VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF WHITE ROYALS TRY AND CLAP TO A GOSPEL TUNE."

Seriously? A "gospel tune"? Do you know who wrote the music and who wrote the lyrics?

the famous "Ode to Joy" melody of the final movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's final symphony, Symphony No. 9.[2]

"The Hymn of Joy"[1] (often called "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee" after the first line) is a poem written by Henry van Dyke in 1907 with the intention of musically setting it to the famous "Ode to Joy".
