Neil has written above about Alexander Goehr. There are a few of his works on You Tube, including the Cantata "Babylon the Great is Fallen (1979) and "Colossos or Panic" (1992).

To be honest I cannot really detect the "complete transformation" of which Neil speaks. Neil says that "he stopped writing atonal, serial...." music. Well, I have no idea how one would describe "Colossos" but it is certainly not "pseudo-Monteverdi". It is music which I personally cannot warm to. It certainly lies outside the frontiers of my own taste. That is not a criticism of the music but it is a fact.
