I wouldn't put Charles Ives in the early music category.. too radical. If you are really talking early music, to a musicologist, you'd be talking about madrigals and all that mathematically very lovely but predictable music... which to a degree holds with a lot of rock and roll, actually... and to a degree with the Beethoven/Mozart/etc. stuff...

Stravinsky, Ives, the other modern composers... they really opened up western orchestral music to the sort of wild, expressionist forms that evolved into film music, and influenced film in itself.

My interest in music expanded dramatically after I stopped thinking of it as rock and everything else, and started digging the REAL roots music... the REAL world music, not that synthesized pastiché that has been stripped of all cultural identity..
