Objectives
As a choir conductor I came across uncountable musical versions of Bible verses but I did not find one musical version of human rights, although the UDHR is basis of the international community. That is why I set myself to scoring the UDHR. Anyone remembers words better if they have a melody to them, and I think it is important that many people know human rights. The more people know their rights, the more people will claim their rights. And if more people claim their (and everyone else’s) human rights, the world will hopefully become a better place.
