I like composers who are "approachable" - that is write music that you can just listen to and not have to "figure out". That doesn't mean "shallow music" but for me, stuff that is playable and listenable just as is - of course realizing that there is a lot of structure, nuance, cleverness, etc., underneath it. Ralph Vaughn Williams, an Englishman, wrote a lot of this stuff and if you listen to the film scores of John Williams, he borrows heavily from Vaughn Williams and a few others (Prokofiev mainly). Anyway, this is nice.
