I agree with the guy who said Gustav Holst. There's a cool version of him conducting The Plannets along with a marching song called "Holst Conducts Holst". It sounds nothing like what modern composers do with the piece (it feels like he's conducting it at like, four beats a second, god) so it's got mixed reviews but I personally love it.
Edward Elgar is also pretty cool. Check out "The Enigma Variations".
Eh, I'm a sucker for the modern era.
