Glazunouv,Gliere,Hamerik,Herzogenberg,Hol,Hartmann,Kalinnikov,Langaard,

Ries,Roussel,Rubenstein,Franz Schmidt,A.M. Smith,Spohr,Stenhammar
Svensen,Tubin,Wetz,Zemlinsky

... (Whew)

They are now on my ipod. Thanks for the new listening program!

For me, it started by simply becoming board with the 3 B's and looking for something different when I wasn't thinking about writing my own music.  I've found that many of the unsung composers that I've listened to were more interesting than their so called "betters". even those who weren't better were at least different.
