In my cyber journey to find good music for reed quintet I found a piece I liked a lot which is titled "Motet" by Ron Ford. It sounds to me like a modern transcription of an earlier music... Hope to find more about it.
After a while, I got a bit tired listening to the same ensemble and needed a change to refresh my ear. So, I started juggling between genres on YouTube, starting with my all time favorites Ella Fitzgerald and Edith Piaf. YouTube, as various websites, gives you suggestions of other music you might like. That's how I came across with Birdy, a 15 years old (!) British singer, pianist and songwriter like myself, only younger and located on the other side of the world. "I'll never forget you" is my favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta4BizhGx8g&feature=related. Then, just for fun I started typing my own name in the search bar and found out this beautiful looking musician that carries a similar name: Florrie. Another British artist, a bit older- 24 years of age (so many young talents), singer-songwriter, drummer and guitarist who is signing these days at a major record company. This one, I think, is one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z_lxO14xcs&feature=relmfu ."Call of the Wild" reminds me a bit of Tricky's track "Black Steel" :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so8Rcm9BcII&list=PL09E5DB8B582A0E82&feature=plpp. I salute these girls for having the courage to follow their dream and for doing it big time!
