Chiang Wen-yeh
Chiang Wen-yeh or Jiang Wenye (; June 11, 1910 – October 24, 1983) was a Taiwanese composer, active mainly in Japan and later in China. He was born in Da Dao cheng, Taipei, and died in Beijing. While often known in the West by renditions of his Chinese name, the three Chinese characters that form his name are pronounced ''Kō Bunya'' () in Japanese, and thus he is also known as Koh Bunya in the West. In his compositions, which range from for piano to choral and orchestral works, he merged elements of traditional Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese music with modernist influences. Due to the political turmoil surrounding his life, he came to be largely forgotten during the latter part of his life. After his death, however, his work has started to gain new recognition in East Asia as well as in the West.
