Work introduction
This composition is based on the speech "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King. The prosody of this very emotional part of American history is used as a source of inspiration. The melody created by the speaker is transformed into a music score by means of spectral analysis. The idea is trying to transfer the emotions of the original speech into the musical discourse.
