To assist consideration, here's a handy reference (click on 50 entries per page):

For me on that first page, AUSTRIA is immortal, though not necessarily my favorite tune in that meter.

As for ODE TO JOY: only if Beethoven's original rhythm is *retained*.

Btw, for folks who've only encountered Richard Proulx's rearrangement of the hymn, "How Can I Keep From Singing?", the 19th century original (public domain) setting (music and text) is better in so many ways - it would be nice to see this used instead:

Link is from 1921, but this goes back to around 1870.

Btw, Doris Plenn's additional verse* that Proulx included in his rearrangement is also public domain, as the copyright extension for it was not done correctly - IIRC that was litigated when Enya covered the song

* When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, And hear their death-knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near, How can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile, Our thoughts to them go winging;
When friends by shame are undefiled, How can I keep from singing?

If someone had asked me about rearranging it, I would have just made it sung in unison and adapted steady-crochet harmonic movement during mid-line dotted-half notes of the melody, as someone might have done had the melody and text been adapted for the 1906 English Hymnal or the 1940 Hymnal. (*Not* turn it into a 4/4 melody with part of the text lifted and riffed as a refrain.)

Yes, I considered mentioning that: it's unusual but ... possible.
