I like Eric Whitacre's choral compositions-particularly his work with the Virtual Choir. Check it out on youtube.

They're also incredible fun to sing - virtually all his pieces have 3rd bass lines down in the gutteral depths of the range, and it's the same up the higher end. They give singers a chance to sing in registers they don't necessarily hit :P

As it's defined here I think it's way too broad. Anything from over 20 years ago I would struggle to label as modern in the usual sense.

Even now of course there is a wide variety of things, often crossing over with musicians from popular music (from jazz, 'rock', world music, electronica etc).
