OK, so MOVING ON, does anyone have a serious list of 5 composers that they'd like to share? I'll give a more updated version of the top 5 living composers, in my opinion:
Louis Andriessen
William Bolcom
Elliott Carter
James MacMillan
Krzysztof Penderecki
Honorable mentions: Thomas Adès, Kalevi Aho, George Crumb, Steven Mackey, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Peter Sculthorpe, Carl Vine, and the list can go on and on...
