The song ? The Essence of Love? is a very famous song among Chinese. It was the theme song for a TV series. It has also been frequently used on many wedding ceremonies. The 2.0 version arranged in jazz harmony, the second part add a Waltz. The lyrics of the song come from the Bible 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 so almost all Chinese Christians know or can sing this song. The composer is Rev. Chien who is a Canadian Taiwanese. Rev. Chien has won the Japanese NHK International Composing Competition. He has strong and solid theory of Western traditional music and good at adding a flavor of oriental mystery to his music, so his music pieces are particularly charming and have a unique style that differentiates him from ordinary composers. Anyone who has sung his songs will fall in love with his music .
