The Road Taken (2019)
for clarinet, cello and piano
Written by Aaron Chung

The piece was inspired by a poem named "The Road Not Taken" written by Robert Frost. At times we find ourselves in the middle of an intersection, not knowing which way to go. Wondering what the other paths are like, we continue with the one we have chosen. This path brings us sunshine and rainstorms, joys and hardships, comforts and dangers. We worry that perhaps a better decision could have been made at the intersection.

Then one night as we sit under the stars, we think of everything we have experienced along this path. We never know what would have happened if we had chosen the other path, but we are still grateful that everything and everyone we have encountered along the way has made us the person we have become.

This piece received the David Gwilt Composition Prize in April 2019.

The Road Taken (2019)

A 16-year-old with Bipolar Disorder (2019)
for baritone and piano
Written by Aaron Chung 

This is a project collaborating with Professor Mary Waye, a research professor at the
Nethersole School of Nursing, CUHK. The music tells the story of how a teenager diagnosed with bipolar disorder who had experienced cyclic insomnia due to episodes of hypomania was treated and could finally sleep well after the scientists examined his DNA sequence and identified the enzyme he lacked. The article of this case study, in which Prof. Waye coauthored, was published in 2015. The music consists of various contrasting sections in an attempt to illustrate what the patient was going through. Professor Waye also wrote a poem that summarizes the research paper. The music follows the form of the poem.
