“UNESCO Heritage and Composition: Inspiration of the Past, Creation of the Present”
This is Opera in Jeju music coach and composer Lee Ji-youn.
I would like to explain the musical aspect of UNESCO heritage and further its cultural historicity.
1. Musical value and importance of UNESCO heritage
Cultural heritage selected by UNESCO is a special expression of each culture, including musical heritage.
This heritage preserves each country's unique musical language, history, and traditions.
2. The influence of UNESCO heritage on composition
UNESCO heritage offers a variety of inspiration for composers.
Historical events, cultural scenes, folk stories, etc. contained in the heritage can be used as the main material for composition.
3. Examples of compositions based on UNESCO heritage
Let’s enjoy “The Shining Morning of Seongsan,” composed based on Seongsan Ilchulbong, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in Jeju.

Yes, I was inspired by the work you admired through the sunrise at Seongsan Ilchulbong, a UNESCO natural heritage site.
In this way, UNESCO heritage provides artistic motivation to composers, including me.
4. Cultural exchange and composition through UNESCO heritage
Cultural exchanges take place through UNESCO heritage sites in various countries, and we need to explore how these exchanges influence composition.
In this way, we must consider how we can use UNESCO heritage to create new music and find ways to create, preserve, and pass on cultural content to future generations.
