Krzystzof Penderecki, 20th-Century Polish composer ("Threnody for the
Victims of Hiroshima")

        From: biffyshrew[at]aol.com
Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki (born 1933 and still kickin').  He's
one of the really great ones.

Subject: Re: Mauricio Kagel eat your heart out, eat yer heart out!

Oops, this one hadn't appeared when I answered the question about
Penderecki, or I woulda done 'em both at once.  It's Argentine-born
composer Mauricio Kagel (1931- ).  He wrote a lot of pioneering electronic
music, and experimented with indeterminacy, which is probably the context
FZ was thinking of when he made the above remark.  Kagel is even on the
Freak Out influences list.
