What about "old" music?

Heyas-- been reading the forums and getting slowly but steadily more confused. I got into "indie" music because of this comic-- yes really, I had never heard of indie rock before I got turned onto QC. However, pre-QC, I listened to a LOT of music...I was a vocal performance undergrad with a side interest in musicology (or music history if you want to call it that). Sooooo...how about "old" music as it were? By which I mean not only classical, but 20th-Century composers of music that could be termed "art music"? I myself have composed a few pieces, but I also know several professional composers, and I think their music is also valid and worth listening to...anyone else here know or appreciate that kind of music, too?
I'd post links or clips if I had any, but it's amazing how you can almost never find, say, Eric Whitacre on YouTube or what have you.

For the record, if anyone wants to do some serious searching, the composer I am currently very impressed with is named J.D. Frizzell-- he's verrry good.

Oliver Messiaen. Amazing composer, i was thinking of uploading some of his work to the sendspace thread right now, as a matter of fact!

I studied baroque and classical trumpet briefly. I'm not really that into it any more, though. A friend of mine is studying composition and is well into serialist composers, and has written a few pieces based around stuff like the electromagnetic spectrum and such.

Other than that, I don't mind a bit of Erik Satie or John Zorn every now and then. Haven't really heard many other contemporary "classical" composers (or whatever they call the genre these days). I'd probably give anything uploaded a listen, though...

Wow, definitely have to second this one as well. Olivier Messiaen's compositions are absolutely amazing.

Even though it's obvious, I'll throw Édith Piaf out there for good measure. :)

PALESTRINA

Some really awesome monk chant composer from the renaissance. His compositions were what convinced the Catholic Church to accept polyphony. Really, really nice stuff, can't recommend anything specific but his stuff shouldn't be too hard to find.
