The Hymn to Life () is a musical composition for mixed chorus and orchestra by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
Origin In 1884, Nietzsche wrote to his friend Peter Gast: "This time, 'music' will reach you. I want to have a song made that could also be performed in public in order to seduce people to my philosophy." With this request, Gast reworked Lebensgebetl into Friendship, and orchestrated it.Ecce Homo, trans. Walter Kaufmann
