Not off the top of my head, but try searching sites that specialize in
MIDI files. I used to have tons of MIDIs before I discovered MP3s, and
I recall seeing 'Ode to Joy', but that was nearly five years ago.
Just as a side note: In Cedonia, where the Order of Lucia is based,
Lucia is not perceived as a goddess of bodily healing, although Her
priests can "minister to a mind diseas'd". In Cedonian religion, Lucia
is The Illuminator Who Drives Out Darkness, Goddess of Light, Justice,
and Knowledge. The Order of Lucia's goals include making education
available to all social classes in the MidSea, the prevention and
correction of injustice, and the establishment of the rule of law
throughout the nations of the MidSea. The Cedonian Emperors have
repeatedly tried to supress the Lucian Church, because the church's
belief that no one is above the law directly conflicts with the
Emperors' view of themselves as Absolute Monarchs("The law is what We
say it is; and if a law should inconvienience Our purposes, why, then
it is no longer law for Us."--Emperor Tharson XIV, great-grandfather of
Empress Yzara.)
With the recent change in the structure and governance of Cedonia, the
Order of Lucia will probably soon emerge from hiding, as the Order's
goals and the goals of the Cedonian Republicans(and, to a lesser
extent, the Kaeiran Republicans) are closely matched.
Oh, and before I forget, I quite liked the litany. You should maybe
think about putting it on the website.
