A 3 i asked. To. Come. All. At once and hes so to see an idea. Its a feeling that continues to live in a house in. The musical Martin Luther king a dream changes the world has a cost of more than 1000. 00 seeing is that was the guiding principle of the produces the Lutheran Foundation create your church. Zinah bloom to his famous i have a dream address was 16 minutes long so that i 13 minutes of which was a back number of a speech hed already given in june of 63 to Union Workers in detroit on plots and then suddenly he put aside his text improvised for 3 minutes but i mean that was the speech of a lifetime has inspired me to send in spirit to momenta. Martin luther kings tal Martin Luther kings dream wasnt his at all when i got to it was gods dream of how we should live together which you can read in the bible with equality and fairness in justice and freedom of movement and united in love wendys and tom god has god turned this dream into political reality. And our message the message of my script that is this just a dream is utopia made real nicole. Feel. Comfort. A. Good so many things i for one constructive singing is a very strong instrument in the life of faith as well as in motivating people singing releases endorphins which encourage a sense of community its very healthy. Dimension comes comes fear and singing also provides an opportunity to communicate a message with passion. Quite different from the spoken word. After he. Fought. With. Miriam she felt works for the foundation created church she organizes the mass choir of untrained singers who performed the musical. A lot of the performers didnt have any experience of singing in a choir we noticed that in their applications they said i really need to practice we told them youre still welcome to come along and well practice together or i should. Get men tripping coke and her daughter anna a 2 of the seniors who werent able to rehearse with the choir they practiced at home by themselves for months using specially purchased c. D. s then in a small choir and finally with the mass choir. One and one thing i really like the songs and i think the show conveys a very Important Message before it is musically remarked before we did the musical id heard of Martin Luther king and of what he did but it didnt really affect my life however now i notice how exclusion and discrimination occur an every day life. I took in my job i work with marginal groups and i see it every day is that stick to sports but its possible to change things if you seize the opportunity and motivate other people to work with you martin what if you put some awful. Like most of the 1200 amateur singers in the production class and his son christoph come from the rule of valley rage and. Was pleased. My son is also performing like that when we practice together he would sing the 2nd part so that we could get used to choral singing on the road we also sang along with the sea day and probably also his own. Itll bunch from even the pool weve now had many rehearsals with lots of cigars but its still overwhelming to sing with so many people to stick with and if you the songs are very very to various themes and genres if its a good mix and the songs are fun to sing. The quiet is the essential element of this musical that was the producers intention from the start. Oh. I got this impulse and thats the most impressive aspect is this enormous choir which will also be the case on tour we always have our sights set on a large choir and in this production the choir has a lot to sing and communicate also content. But of course we also have stars in the cast us professional singers who give the production its shape and he just took him. To. Come up. To see. How. It. Was. That he. Was. The some of us have only one week to rehearse. The 2 composes kristoff to boykin and honey present at the rehearsals. The journalist undressed melissa wrote the libretto. I dont. Think im especially grateful that we could sit down together right from the start sideline with the 1st demos and says im god but its the most interesting. In an atmosphere of trust and deep friendship we could say well that doesnt sound right wing or what are you trying to say or is or is that theologically profound or just pious twaddle or is that sean flynn rubbish. Is. Just off to boykin in his studio indecl golf this is where large sections of the musical were created in addition to composing songs to boy can arrange the music for the mask while. We also recorded much of the music here everything except the large sanctions for all castro and choir. Of course we also use songs from the time of Martin Luther king there are a few spirituals that icky we shall overcome for instance is that since obviously. We have to incorporate that one everybody identifies it with him. This is. As a one. Night a new for king i think live to go curve gospel music was essential to Martin Luther king as an afroamerican christian and find a different me to go to merely a jackson was a close family friend and she was one of the most influential gospel singers in the world together with James Cleveland in a wreath of Franklin Franklin for them and besides almost every gospel song i can think of reflects what Martin Luther king himself preached really also the words that jesus spoke for instance if anyone strikes you on the right cheek turn the other also. Know the vendor he went after. The message of dont resort to violence. If god exists let him act then the scope of my. Studio is an elm only hamburg. Kristoff staircase and bash christoph strength is in string arrangements from a german bass but he does that really well with soul music im more attuned to the keyboard and the choruses minds on covert. Unusual for such a Large Production the composer is themselves perform. And youre working with you and we wanted to playing we would have felt miserable sitting on some chair and listening to how our music was being played through thats nice but its even nicer to play it. Because they think im what i want to read that i read the Music Together with honey oh its a baby i think i can control it best if im up there on stage. And my love i got a rope. And. Yeah. I think its one of the most powerful songs because the choir really moves with it and sings with real passion i left. I think about this song has wonderful energy and thats what i love about gospel music thats in gospel it. Was music of Martin Luther king musical the dream changes the world starts with the assassination of Martin Luther king on april the 4th 1968 and tells the story of his life in flashbacks the memories of his fellow activists 50 guy lots so now because we highlight 4 or 5 important events in his life you see its really interpret them to make the point that a dream is not the same thing as an illusion and its kind in 00. The dutch singing artist gino amnesty placed the role of Martin Luther king. And hes simply Martin Luther king thats all and then you realize that hes human like the rest of us i meant he has his lumps and bumps and his faults and we also show those in the musical thing we are stuck. With. The german opera and musical director andreea skerrick and has directed the production. But. It is surprise we see in our musical choral musical is the person who also has doubts. And is also a bit egotistical. And. He subordinates the dreams and needs of the people around him to his own great visions. He follows his own path and without wavering even if it means sacrificing others on the way. That are not in the correct for instance who has to give up her great dream of an operatic career somebody through the course and. Was. And of course its an open question whether she would ever have become a great opera singer but Martin Luther king can be grateful that she renounced her career to become a small town pastors wife climbed up the past 2 and fall severely. The role of carette as scott king is played by the dutch actress and singer patti fan defender. If it had been me i would probably have decided in favor of a singing career and not have married the baptist pastor better known as Martin Luther king. But thats me i didnt grow up as an afroamerican woman in the sixtys. Its easy enough to say i would have done things differently maybe she didnt have the opportunity perhaps it was too dangerous to live certain dreams. Martin luther kings political activism was certainly dangerous to his marriage and his family. For i was surprised by Martin Luther kings recklessness that at the age of 39 he got used to the idea of bomb attacks on his home that his family received Death Threats almost every day and still he carried on. On the one hand item thats reckless on the other hand vital passion it really shocked me but it also challenged me not to make weak fatalistic decisions in my faith make he could have made a bad decision but instead he said im going to invest a lot in one thing and i want to be more courageous i want to be clear i have challenge myself. In this regard i have to say Martin Luther king has become a role model for me increasingly so during this period. He was 39 when he was assassinated i started writing the script when i was 38 that is to say shortly before the age at which he die and when you see what reprisals the man faced he certainly suffered from and he struggled mightily for what he believed he had a family i also have a family. Suffered a lot i also made his family suffer a lot. But i see the parallels and that makes me share his pain a bit especially at the present time when the world seems to be in such turmoil and the issue is current again with him i think one feels his pain of the. Interim it to finish on. The. Rosa parks is a hero alongside dr king in the musical and in reality she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person this led to the famous montgomery bus boycott a seminal event in the civil rights movement. For brit. Is shes the kind of role model that i want to see everywhere. Including in my own life. Adventure. And in the hour i wake up in the morning and think. How would rose go out into this world would she get upset about every trivial thing. Or would she stay focused and doe her mission in life. Meet. That guys got to so i mean the spirit of god should mold me from the inside with my characteristics and my past into Something Wonderful for others and yeah that was what happened to Martin Luther king for his experience of being called was very prosaic and he looked through the window of a bus shelter and saw how black people were being made to stand at the back while the seats up front were reserved for white folks is that as a bit of that that annoyed him and he asked himself what will happen if we dont take the bus and it was one of the 1st trade boycotts in the western world that he read that is a common humanity which makes us sensitive to the sufferings of warmer now over. In september 964. 00 Martin Luther king came to the divided city of girl and he also visited the communist east. Good evening your passport is easy here she might. Look heres my name there and here it says america im an american and the next 2 americans write express American Express their. X. Writes. For stoker thank you enjoy your visit i come. As i guess reader i have to say thats a moment of magic isnt it a poor little border guard makes a mistake which enables an american without a passport to go to the church on alexander blogs or thousands are waiting for him i mean my legs and its incredible the elfin vibe and off on. The church of the virgin in what was then the communist east thousands of east berlin is waiting for him it wasnt an official visit he had received an informal invitation from the protestant church. The crowd was so huge that a 2nd event was held at another church in downtown belin. Ive met a number of dissidents and christians who took part in the protests of 989 that led to the fall of the berlin wall and they told me. The seat of our activism our perseverance our courage to stick it out in communist east germany and to hope and belief and we received from king on september the 13th 1964 king im tied to that time i feel unsafe typically. The musical blends reality and fiction some historical figures like malcolm x. I introduced anachronistically and the holy spirit played by a woman is a bit of poetic license. Catechized than the holy spirit is Martin Luther kings inspiration and to sing with of course shes closely connected to his faith and enables him in spite of the aggression he encounters to respond with love and with nonviolence. Supply. Was. Was. You know of the day there are idea of casting a woman in the role of the holy spirit wasnt a nod to feminism of a boy when its rooted in the bible but going by god says in the Old Testament as a mother comforts her child so well i comfort you was that the Lutheran Foundation created a church has its headquarters in witan a University Town in western germany the foundations main aim is to promote singing with Small Projects and in large Stage Productions the choral musical Martin Luther king has been performed 3 times this year its. Double premiere was staged in february and at the end of june it was performed at the german eventually cool churches annual convention. A nationwide tour is planned for next year. Titles and something youll be performing at 11 towns and 2020 with more than 10000 singers taking part of what we continue to look for new singers the 1st projects have been well received theyre already fully booked the big time people like to take part and we see new people responding volunteering to sing of people whove never sung in a choir before and maybe have never had anything to do with the church. Because of the large number of participants to premiers was staged on 2 separate evenings with 1200. 00 singers at each performance i. Think the premiere is worth a try i. Think. At the evangelical churches annual convention the musical was also well received here in dortmund 2000 singers took past Thomas Clouse and his son christophe among them. I was. Kind of marvelous i thought it was great singing with and for so many people it was a great atmosphere with you know i thought of it as yeah it was great fun the show was sometimes very moving sometimes jazzing it it has great appeal and everything was great talking.
