Huang was delighted with the poem and immediately set it to music. The work was performed a capella by music department students, and the audience was mesmerized and called out for endless encores. This passionate reaction exceeded Huang's expectations.
黃友棣十分喜歡，立刻將它譜成曲子，由音樂科學生以無伴奏的合唱方式演出，果然聽眾為之陶醉，安可之聲不絕於耳，反應之熱烈，出乎他的意料。
