Gunge has composed orchestral, scenic, chamber and solo works but his list of works reveal a passion for the human voice. This passion extends to writing pieces for amateurs, and his melody Vær Lidt Varsom is included in Højskolesangbogen ("The Danish Folk High School Songbook”). On his own music, Gunge writes: "The personal aim of my art is to find a way into the new music which avoids the avant-garde and avoids the rejection of it”.
