[tuning] looking for no dissoance music

I am looking for a microtonal composer who writes without the dissonance of Schoenberg. My
ideal composer would be something like: the king of the east meets Ralph Vaughn Williams meets
Alban Berg (with the accent being on Vaughn Williams). Does such an accomplishment exist?

Also, I have noticed that in my quest for tonal and tuning perfection that I find the perfect
tones and tunings I am seeking in diatonic music. I am thinking that the modes (dorian,
phrygian,etc) in the keys (a, a#, b, c, etc.) produce the apperception (subjective experience)
of microtones. I also experience this in vocal and orchestral pieces where the timbre is
oftened changed.
Are there are any harmonic studies of this phenomena I am experiencing?

Any help on the above subjects would be greatly appreciated.

Try Lou Harrison. A lot of his JI music is quite tonal.
Or maybe Terry Riley's Harp of New Albion,
Michael Harrison's From Ancient Worlds.

Or maybe David Hykes?

Could you tell me more about David Hykes? From the webpage, all I get is that he does choir
music. I'd really like to hear Harry Partch meets Arvo Part meets Schoenberg. All 72 notes of
the ideal Pythagorean scale singing like Arvo Part's "Miserere".
Which brings me to another idea. Arvo Part's "Miserere" is not microtonal officially yet it
sounds just as free and beautiful.
Maybe its impossible. I doubt it. When Pythagorus made the lambda, an array of harmonic
divisions, it implied the 12 tone tablets a tone row writer might make (except that I am
dreaming of a 72 tone array). I think that China probably had all 72 notes singing and that it
was forgotten by history because of the Tannhauser thing.
