The primary legal document of protection for U.S. citizens,
The Bill of Rights, has been under attack.
Knowing the essential nature of these rights, we decided to memorize the ten amendments.
It's a daunting and illuminating task.
Try it.
Music became the perfect vehicle to aid memory. In song, the words come alive!
In 1874 a Mr.Greeler set the entire US Constitution to music. The 6 hour anthem opera was well received, but no score survived.
A call to all citizens, teachers, musicians, orators, engineers, producers, patriots:
Envision the best of our nation's high school bands and choruses performing this work for the Legislative, Judicial and Executive Branches in a December 15th Bill of Rights Day Capital Celebration.
Help make it happen.
