Besides, some of the pieces are NSYSU professors’ original compositions, such as "Interdependence III” by Professor Kwang-I Ying of the Department of Music conceived during an exchange with a Thai university. Part-time Assistant Professor of the Department, Ya-Hsin Cheng said that this work “lets one feel the cool sweet summer in Thailand”, and has what’s best in modern music. “Sextet – for the Year of 2020” by Associate Professor Szu-Hsien Lee conveys the anxiety that the number 19 causes in people.
