Kan Ishii

Kan Ishii

nihongo|Kan Ishii|石井歓|Ishii Kan born March 30, 1921 in Tokyo, Japan, is a composer, and the brother of composer Maki Ishii. His father, Bac Ishii (1887-1982) was a prominent Japanese ballet dancer. His "Symphonia Ainu" won a prize at the 1958 Art Festival, inspiring him to do further work inspired by nationalist primitivism. His musical style appeals directly to the emotions, and shows the influence of Carl Orff. In addition to orchestral and vocal music, he has written extensively for the stage, including 6 operas, 3 ballets and 9 film scores, including the 1962 science-fiction film "Gorath". IMDB's entry on Ishii mistakenly shows him as having died in 1972, however he accepted a position as professor at Shōwa Music College in 1986.
