* Karlheinz Stockhausen ''was'' the 1960s in classical music. As one of the leaders of the Darmstadt School, he and Pierre Boulez were pioneers in both serial, aleatoric, and even spectral music, changing the classical music landscape for years to come.
* Iannis Xenakis. He studied under the famous architect Le Corbusier and then the famous composer Olivier Messiaen. He incorporated all kinds of mathematical ideas into his music. He once wrote a beautiful (if a bit harsh) piece called Metastasis, then proceeded to ''design a building'' based off of it. That building was the famous Philips Pavilion.
* Georges Bizet's ''Carmen,'' an opéra comique. Don't mistake it for a comedy though—it's most definitely a tragedy. The most recognizable/popular of parts are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Ult8x-doE "Toréador's Song,"] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20141224141506/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGFUKsv1epk&feature=related ''Habanera.'']
* Harry Partch, who almost single-handedly introduced just intonation <ref>tuning based upon pure mathematical frequency ratios</ref> into the dialogue of modern classical music. A massive influence on musicians like [[The Residents]].
* Christoper Tin's ''[[Calling All Dawns]]'', the leading piece of which--''[[Civilization|Baba Yetu]]''—became the first piece of video game music to win a Grammy. The other songs aren't featured in video games but are equally awesome.
