Composed by Tao Yi Mo
Guzheng by Wu Li

The song is one of the representative works debuted by Wu Li, which required high perfoming skills and is full of tension and rhythm. It depicts the chase, hiding,   more...stalemate and contest between the hunter and the quarry, with wind blowing fiercely, horse nickering nervously, everything around blurry and soul-stirring. Wu Li creates the skill of "scraping by left hand" in the music. When she made a debut in Beiling in 2002, it created a big sensation and was later collected in the "Classics of Chinese Guzheng Music".

Her debut in Europe in 2003 was also spoken highly of.

The song was commented by the experts as "The greatly expanded the art expressive force of Guzheng", and was said to be another "milestone" works of Chinese Guzheng composition.  less

Song Title : A Suddenly Happened Love Story

Twelve Girls Band is a music group with thirteen women artists, always appearing as twelve on stage, playing traditional Chinese instruments to play both traditional   more...Chinese and Western songs. Formed on June 18, 2001, the women were selected by audition from more than 4000 contestants, all studying in conservatories schools in the People's Republic of China (PRC), each woman is classically-trained, in the China Academy of Music, the Chinese National Orchestra, and the Central Conservatory of Music, et cetera.

The twelve women experienced musicians from the People's Republic of China's orchestras, played ancient Chinese instruments, and all were in their twenties. For the new project, the women were inspired by the art of the Yue Fang, the ensembles who played in the Tang Dynasty courts during the years A.D. 618 to 907.

The group debuted their modern compositions on ancient instruments in China and Japan during the Northern summer of 2003. Word of mouth spread, show after show were sold-out, and in Japan their debut album topped the charts for 30 weeks. Their self-titled debut was released in North America in August of 2004 with cover versions of Coldplay's "Clocks" and Enya's "Only Time" included, and a massive television advertising campaign announcing the group's arrival.

They have become very popular in Japan (holding the highest sales numbers of any Chinese musical artist ever), the PRC, Hong Kong, and abroad.
