The Hovhaness reference confused me for a minute, because I was
referring to living classical composers, of which he is not one, and
of recently dead composers in a similar style--of which he is also
not one. (Nothing against H., BTW; I think he's gotten a bad rap over
the years).
I'm not sure I understand why you don't think Hovhaness was a
"recently dead composer" in classical style, since he died in 2000,
and when find references to performances of his music it is by
"classical music" groups, and the recordings are in the classical
music section of the local retailers.
<sigh> I was referring not to classical style, but to *contemporary*
style (by which [and I shouldn't have to say this] I mean contemporary
*classical* style). See, this is what happens when you misuse the word
"contemporary."
