I hadn't realised Part was still alive, his music is fantastic.

FiveKorvex: as a genre, "classical" isn't all it used to be, indeed the vast majority of the community that used to compose classical music have now evolved into a genre often referred to as "Contemporary Classical" (amusing name that). There are still quite a few composers of this style, and those who kick back to the old forms and styles of the truly classical eras, but due to the creation of rock, jazz, and all the other genres in the last 100 years, it has fallen to the wayside in terms of popularity, which is why it doesn't seem as evident these days.
