Today the text is the music and the music is the text. The words of the 1948 UN Human Rights Declaration<\/em>, in their demands for<\/em> and implicit belief in<\/em> humanity – the vision of a better and fairer world that is within our reach if we choose it – remind us that we still have a long way to relieve the trauma that millions of people undergo everyday, imposed by cruelty, greed and injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eleanor Roosevelt<\/a>, credited with its inspiration, was the chair person of the UN Committee that drafted the document. She referred to the Declaration as the \u201cinternational Magna Carta for all mankind,\u201d and considered the 30 Articles of the Declaration<\/a> as her greatest achievement. It was adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948. Here is Roosevelt reading<\/a> the preamble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composer Max Richter<\/a> put her words to music, incorporating her reading of the preamble into a piece called All Human Beings<\/em> from his new album Voices<\/a>, to be released <\/em>by the end of July. He then crowdsourced hundreds of readers of all ages who repeated the words in various languages, interwoven with the music. They are the voices<\/em> of the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
