whose most recent work, the opera Nixon in China, is quite excellent,
though imperfect.  The liner notes describe him as a "minimal
minimalist" :-)  He uses minimalist techniques but is far from limited
to them.  I first heard a fragment of NiC on the radio and thought,
"Phil Glass (whose work I enjoy) has finally grown up."
