Carl Orff because of Carmina Burana
I went through a P.Glass period but I barely listen to him now, otherwise I am not a fan of 20th century music

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

I checked "The Rite of Spring" of Stravinsky before, too. It was splendid. And I like avant-garde works equally.

Steve Reich and Terry Riley were entrances of those music for me.
By the way, there was a musician called "Toru Takemitsu in Japan.

Please try it when people are interested in it.


I have at least one record by Takemitsu, maybe two. Its easy for records to get lost around here. Ermm
I still can't find my copy of Ice T "Power"  Disapprove

Yes. Gymnopedies. I intended to say it, too. It is solemn with beauty definitely.

Alike Kazu, I'm not familiar with all of these neither I know much beyond the classic pieces of some of these.

But Steve Reich and Terry Riley are indeed faves of mine, my entry to minimalistic music and oh man, it's so good.

However, I'll give my vote to Satie if only for his Gymnopedies that are just.... heaven-made.

Since the 1920s or earlier there has been an ongoing cross exchange between modern composers and jazz artists.

Although many of my favorite works are more avant-garde, my favorite composer overall is Stravinsky, especially for his later period French/American neo-classical pieces.
