Each song serves as a mark of its era. In 2021, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) was established through the merger of National Yang Ming University (NYMU) and National Chiao Tung University (NCTU). The following introduces the songs of NYCU, NYMU, and NCTU, tracing the history and cultural heritage of the schools through their melodies and lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-provider-\u5d4c\u5165\u5167\u5bb9\u8655\u7406\u5e38\u5f0f wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5ec89bf9f4bb44f42e0e8106fdf5e80e\"><strong>NYCU<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ef3a075200c949dc817f3041ccaa4ba5\"><strong>University Song of NYCU\u2014Together, we go far.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-provider-\u5d4c\u5165\u5167\u5bb9\u8655\u7406\u5e38\u5f0f wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">After two years of a public call for submissions and review, the song \u201cTogether, we go far,\u201d composed by Associate Professor Chu-Lan Kao of the Institute of Statistics, was selected by the University Affairs Meeting as the official university song. The lyrics preserve the rich cultural heritage of both NYMU and NCTU and express aspirations for NYCU, showcasing the continuation of the spirit of the two predecessor universities and the beginning of a new chapter. The song was officially unveiled at the university\u2019s fourth-anniversary celebration on February 22, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>University Song of NYCU<\/strong>\u2014Together, we go far \uff0f2025<br>Lyrics and music by Chu-Lan Kao<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u570b\u7acb\u967d\u660e\u4ea4\u901a\u5927\u5b78\u6821\u6b4c \u300a\u540c\u884c\u81f4\u9060\u300bMV | NYCU Anthem MV\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jmQfsZwns9E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b5cca691e1b41200e91a1968daf3bf52\"><strong>NYMU<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ffcc74ee33139a2ee87a96e0e287de2b\"><strong>College Song of National Yang-Ming Medical College<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approved at the 7th College Affairs Meeting of National Yang-Ming Medical College on September 15, 1975, the song was composed by Harry S.

In 1975, Mr. Ching-Lai Shen, Dean of the College of Engineering, announced new lyrics to replace the old ones (written by Executive Secretary Prof. Tien-Chien Chou; the melody remained unchanged). Later, as the number of colleges, departments, and institutes gradually increased, those lyrics were no longer appropriate. Therefore, on June 9, 1999, the University Affairs Meeting approved a proposal made by NCTU President Chun-Yen Chang to revert to the original lyrics used at the Shanghai campus, and the song was composed by Prof. Yu-Mei Hsiao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2001, the faculty and students at the Institute of Music of NCTU used the melody of the university song as material to compose seven different vocal and instrumental versions, entitled \u201cSu Yuan Sung,\u201d thereby adding aesthetic value to the song and making its interpretations more colorful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>\u6821\u6b4c\u8046\u8cde<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Choral version<\/strong><\/em><br>Composed by Yu-Mei Hsiao, performed by NCTU YS Chorus<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1-\u300a\u5408\u5531\u7248\u300b\u856d\u53cb\u6885\u4f5c\u66f2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <em><strong>Four-part chorus and piano version<\/strong> <\/em>\uff0f2001<br>    Arranged and composed by Wan-Yu Sung, performed by NCTU YS Chorus, piano accompaniment by\u00a0Wen-Yuan Chen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/song1.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong><em>Computer music graphic version<\/em> <\/strong>\uff0f2001<br>   Arranged and composed by Chih-Fang Huang<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/song2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <em><strong>Piano prelude version<\/strong><\/em> \uff0f2001<br>   Arranged and composed by Chiung-Hui Huang, performed by Chao-Hsiu Liu<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/song3.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>5. <em><strong>Piano tone poem version<\/strong><\/em>\uff0f2001<br>   Arranged and composed by Tzu-Ching Wu, performed by Chao-Hsiu Liu\u3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/song4.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>6. <em><strong>Solo flute version<\/strong><\/em>\uff0f2001<br>   Composed and performed by Shu-Hang Yang, piano accompaniment by Shu-I Lin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/song5.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>7. <em><strong>Clarinet fantasia version<\/strong><\/em> \uff0f2001<br>   Composed and performed by Ching-I Huang, piano accompaniment by Shu-I Lin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/song6.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>8. <em><strong>Band version<\/strong><\/em> \uff0f2001<br>   Arranged and composed by Li-Chu Feng<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/museum.lib.nycu.edu.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/8-NCTU-Song\u300a\u7ba1\u6a02\u7248\u300b.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-light-gray-color has-css-opacity has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>9. <em><strong>A Cappella version<\/strong> <\/em>\uff0f2019<br>   Composed by Yu-Mei Hsiao, arranged and composed by Matthias Knoche (Klangbezirk), performed\u00a0by NCTU YS Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u570b\u7acb\u4ea4\u901a\u5927\u5b78\u6821\u6b4c(A Cappella \u7248) -
