 I would be intrigued to know which contemporary composers you feel fit this description? That is, those 'purveyors of pseudo-intellectual dirges'?

To counter those who believe me to be grinding a modernist axe, I might add that I was pleased to come across Harold Truscott's Elegy the other day, finding it substantial and harmonically original. Several other small works I have previously heard have indeed struck me as dirge-like in their lack of original thought, but if anyone knows any other works of his they particularly admire, I would like to hear of them.
