Modern composers

All these composers have also been seriously occupied with painting or drawing.

Composers that were born in England, or gained the English nationality.

It is sometimes hard to tell when to call a composer modern, as opposed to Romantic. In general you can say that the Moder Eara in music started around the year 1900. However, many composers continued to write pieces in a romantic fashion long after that.
