The original post was an open door for opinion:
"I posted last night to see who everyone thought were some of the most important band composers of the 20th century."
I don't think there's anything antagonistic about this discussion; just a healthy exchange! This is good!
With that being said, I note that the list thus far is pretty much dominated by the English-speaking world. How about some international nominations? I don't believe that this was limited to symphonic band works; how about some great names in brass banding?
(My opinion of the proceedings anyway)
