Nationality: Chinese
Ren Guang also known by a pen name, Ren Qianfa (Chinese: 任前发), was a noted Chinese composer of the early 20th century.
Ren studied in Paris beginning in 1919, and there acquired the techniques of music composition. As a consequence, his works are influenced by Western music, particularly in their harmonic accompaniment. He returned to China c. 1928 and worked at Baidai Record Company.
Among his best-known compositions are Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon (彩雲追月, Cǎi yún zhuī yuè), composed in 1935 for Chinese instrumental ensemble and transcribed for piano in 1975, and Song of the Fishermen (渔光曲, Yú guāng qǔ), used as the theme song for a namesake film.
