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.
French group of composers reacting against Les Six, who they thought made too lighthearted music. Their goal was to restore the deeper spiritual and human values in French music. Yves Baudrier initiated the group. The group members eventually went their own directions in music.
