Some near-21st Century music (1999) that is very nice.  The piece has been described as "riveting and spellbinding" and "fabulously spectral work, haunting in its ominous use of bleak lyricism, relentless in its hypnotic attraction, and thoroughly inventive in its somber mood and design" - but don't that scare you away. 

For anyone suspicious of "new music" this work might act as a good entry point.  But that is not to say that it is not extremely well-written and somewhat (to use an over-used word for new music) demanding; it is - but it is also accessible.

That's an early date for so advanced a catalogue number, but it was a slight piece written to audition players for the fourth horn position in an orchestra, and only published posthumously.
