Scored for mezzo-soprano, baritone, chorus, children's choir, and orchestra, the Nobel Symphony comprises six movements, with each movement based on a different prize: literature, chemistry, economics, physics, physiology or medicine, and peace. Interspersed among the movements are a preamble, proclamations, and postlude for offstage solo trumpet. Influenced by Martin Luther King Jr.'s essay, "The Trumpet of Conscience," these fanfares — for Known and Unknown Worlds, for Economic Justice, for the sick and suffering, and for the Rights of All— are calls to conscience and justice.

Of the first and last movements of the symphony, LITERATURE: War is wide... and PEACE: Circles of Compassion, respectively, I see the two outer movements with the full forces performing as a metaphor for the world, the global village. The dialogue among the chorus, soloists, and orchestra is about large, sweeping issues, the macrocosm. The inner and smaller movements are more intimate reflections or meditations on the human microcosm.

The text for the Nobel Symphony consists of quotes and writings by a diverse range of Nobel laureates, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel, Martin Luther King Jr., His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dag Hammarskjold, Rigoberta Menchu, Nelson Mandela, Pablo Neruda, Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Mother Teresa, Ton! Morrison, Amartya Sen, Adolfo Perez Esquivel, and Paul Samuelson.

The symphony includes a wide range of world instruments (including Tibetan singing bowls, Tibetan horns, Tibetan prayer chimes, djembe, talking drum, small elephant bells, African bottle and sisal rattles, and kalimba), naturally-found instruments (stones, bean pods, gourds, fallen olive tree branches, kernels of organic corn, and seashell wind chimes), and alternative percussion instru- ments (aluminum foil, Audubon birdcall, chopsticks, hardbound books, metal tablespoons, empty metal soup cans, plastic bubble wrap, a plowshare, prosthetic leg limbs, and wooden spoons). These instruments, in conjunction with the standard orchestral instruments, serve as a sonic metaphor for the diverse cultures and voices in the world. Because world peace and progress require the contributions of all peoples globally, I have selected texts and dedicatory pas- sages that strive to achieve inclusion of all voices and to honor all.

From the scores of refugees we will hear the music of humanity. In the symphony called freedom, we will hear our common voice. In the notes of our very existence the unending song of compassion is written. In the key of humanity we will find peace. The chords of justice are before us. May we have the courage to hear them.
