===============
Can anyonerecommend a modern composer
who's music sounds "classical," either
in a baroque or a romantic sense?
Everything I've heard that's been written
in the last fifty years is either atonal,
amelodic, repetitive (e.g. P. Glass) or
simplistic (J. Williams).  Doesn't anyone
write beautiful, melodic, serious music
anymore?
===============
Just this week heard the Toronto Symphony and the Toronto Childrens' Choir
give the world premiere of Andrew Davis' "Chansons Innocentes", which
seems to be just what you want (and original, as well).  (Andrew Davis
conducting).
