Recent news from my homeland was absolutely devastating and heartbreaking for me. Keep on singing this tune for a while, and decided to make an arrangement out of it to cope with my sadness. Free to download and use, I don’t care about the copyright or whatsoever, just use it if you want.
Never have I ever thought that I will join a conducting competition. Since I would be 35 in 2025, and that’s the age limit to register to this competition, my friends supported me and said I should give it a try. I did. And voila, I got accepted!
Last year, I decided to join a choral composition competition in Taiwan called 音為愛 Sing for Love. It is a biennial competition that emphasizes the importance of choral music in Taiwan through new freshly written love-themed music, and for the first time since its first batch, is no longer exclusive for Taiwanese only. and to my surprise I was awarded with high distinction (特優) –in other words, the first place–for my work for children choir, 《又是美好的一天》 (Another Beautiful Day). That was my first attempt to write a Mandarin song, and with my limited skills in Mandarin and a help from a good friend of mine, Danivu, I was so excited to hear it being premiered!
Taipei Chamber Singers was invited to perform in the 18th Taiwan Outstanding Women in Science Awarding Ceremony 第18屆「台灣傑出女科學家獎」 and this year I was again privileged to perform and arrange another medley of Yue Qin and Mei Gui Mei Gui Wo Ai Ni 月琴/玫瑰玫瑰我愛你, and this time it was recorded!
Ever since I was still studying in NTNU, I always see Yun-Chen as a super smart and talented composer. Never thought that I would be honoured to be part of of her composition recital. Thank you for including me on your wonderful project, it was such a pleasure to conduct your ethereal works! Also thank you for all the singers who have worked hard to prepare the music despite all of limitations (especially time) we encountered. Thank you for giving your best efforts in our performance. Congratulations on your successful concert, Yun-Chen Chang! It was one of the best graduation concerts I’ve ever had chance to experience! Check out the videos below!

A tune that brainwashed me since Sunday after rehearsal, thus I made this short arrangement. Applied some unconventional vocal lines I love since it is fun to get some spicy chords, isn’t it? You are my sunshine,my only sunshineYou make me happywhen skies are grayYou’ll never know, dear,how much I love youPlease don’t take my sunshine away…
