What are 3 famous modern composers?

Answer 1

Any discussion of Asian music would have to include Toru Takemitsu, who was one of the first Eastern composers to gain worldwide recognition for his music. I would also say Tan Dun, who has written the music for many well-known movies (Hero, Crouching Tiger) as well as a large Classical repertoire. Other famous Asian composers would be Bright Sheng, who teaches at the University of Michigan, Akira Ifukube, who is most famous for the music of Godzilla. Other well-known composers would be Ichiro Nodaira, Isang Yun, P.Q. Phan, and Xian Xinghai.

Answer 2

Three modern composers are John Cage, Olivier Messiaen and Pierre Boulez.
