Jack Pepper：我受国王基金会委托，为查尔斯三世国王创作了一首名为《和谐》的歌曲，旨在激励人们采取行动保护地球。创作这首皇家作品的挑战在于要获得多方认可，但我尽量不让这些影响我。在研究后，我突然灵感迸发，一小时内完成了歌曲的创作。我希望合唱部分充满力量，承认世界面临的挑战，并激励人们采取行动。这首歌从细微处开始，逐渐增强，最终达到高潮。音乐与歌词相呼应，表达了世界既脆弱又充满力量和美丽。为国王表演这首歌是一次非凡的经历，他似乎对音乐产生了共鸣。国王不仅与我交谈，还与我的父母交谈，这非常棒。我认为年轻的作曲家们应该分享他们的音乐，因为音乐是一种交流行为。分享音乐能让你更有信心，因为音乐是为交流而生的。音乐让我感到快乐，因为它是一种自我表达，也是一种永无止境的探索，我喜欢这种冒险的感觉。
