Ever heard the missa Celtica by John Cameron? It's also nice writing music. Britten's an acquired taste, though, and very intense if you actually start listening to what's going on, especially looking at how the Wilfred Owen poems and the requiem text interact.
I owe theblackmare for my introduction to Loreena McKinnett, and Claire Pelletier, who seems a French equivalent. That's why both are well represented on my playlist.
I think I like the keyboard ostinato on Closing Time-- it would be fun to play.
