some contemporary composers (alive today) write music which is deeply religious. these include john tavener and arvo pärt. john rutter and bob chilcott, who write music for choirs which sounds fresh and attractive to new audiences. other composers have found various ways of creating their own style, e.g. the scottish composers james macmillan and judith weir and the master of the queen's music: sir peter maxwell davies. in russia sofia gubaidulina and galina ustvolskaya are important voices in the search for new music.
