I've been discovering the music of Lou Harrison.
Here's an overview of his life and work:

I came across him because I heard his Third Symphony while doing some housework. I wrapped up the housework ASAP and got on to YouTube. This symphony is a delight - of our time but totally accessible:

I then listened to his "La Koro Sutro", a setting of the Heart Sutra in Esperanto to music for choir, organ, and American gamelan:

It's quite enchanting. You'll give thanks for California making this kind of fusion possible.
