I asked AI to generate a song of the Martin Luther King Jr’s speech.
The AI called 'Suno’ can generate songs from text.

Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

[Chorus 2]
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia,
the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

[Chorus 3]
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi,
a state sweltering with the heat of injustice,
sweltering with the heat of oppression,
will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

[Chorus 4]
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

[Chorus 5]
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists,
with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition" and “nullification"
— one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

[Chorus 6]
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted,
and every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made plain,
and the crooked places will be made straight,
and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.

[Ending]
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

Generating style of music

I asked ChatGPT 'Plese tell me the suitable style of music for above lyrics’.

The result is below.

The lyrics you’ve provided are from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream" speech. Given the profound and powerful nature of these words, a suitable music style should amplify the message and evoke the deep emotions and hopes expressed. Here are a few styles that would be particularly effective:

  1. Gospel:
    • Gospel music, with its roots in African American spirituals and church hymns, would provide a deeply emotional and powerful backdrop for these lyrics. The genre’s traditional call-and-response structure and its ability to convey hope and resilience align perfectly with the speech’s themes.
  2. Soul/R&B:
    • Soul and R&B music, known for their emotional depth and connection to the civil rights movement, would be a fitting choice. The rich vocal expressions and soulful melodies could enhance the message of equality and justice.
  3. Classical:
    • A classical arrangement, perhaps with orchestral accompaniment, could bring a sense of grandeur and solemnity to the lyrics. The use of strings, brass, and choir could create a powerful and moving rendition that underscores the historical significance of the speech.
  4. Folk:
    • Folk music, with its tradition of storytelling and social commentary, could provide a reflective and earnest setting for the lyrics. Acoustic instrumentation and a simple, heartfelt delivery could highlight the speech’s aspirational message.
  5. Contemporary Inspirational/Pop:
    • A contemporary inspirational or pop style could make the message accessible to a broad audience while maintaining its emotional impact. A strong vocal performance with uplifting melodies and a modern arrangement could bring the speech’s themes to life in a relatable way.

Each of these styles would bring out different facets of the speech, but all would aim to honor its legacy and convey its powerful message of hope, equality, and justice.

So I used below style of music.
Male vocal,Gospel,Soul/R&B,Classical,Folk,Contemporary Inspirational/Pop
