I'm torn between Harry Christophers and Willcocks.

Gregorio Allegri (b. 1582 – d. 7 February 1652)

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (b. 3 February 1525 – 2 February 1526;[1] d. 2 February 1594)

The dates are wrong, it would have to be someone more modern IYSWIM

Charles Burney was a music historian not a composer. He is also not contemporary IMHO.

OK, it was this that set me along that track

Arguably the most famous recording of Allegri's Miserere was that made in March 1963 by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, conducted by Sir David Willcocks, which featured the then-treble Roy Goodman. This recording of the Miserere was originally part of a LP recording entitled 'Evensong for Ash Wednesday' but the Miserere has subsequently been re-released as part of various compilation discs.

Two separate LPs, one recorded in 1973 and the other in 1983, were conflated to create this well-filled budget CD in EMI Classics' "Encore' line. As an inexpensive introduction to the music of Giovanni Gabrieli, and the famous Allegri Miserere, it gives the listener his or her money's worth and then some.

Brain hurting....

I also thought Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, although not sure how contemporary he is..
but being the idiot I am with Classical Music I relied only on my googling skills so an uninformed guess!
Also found this
Why has the original score of the 1963 performance by Sir David Willcocks and the King's College Choir in Cambridge never been published? Why wasn't it published by Oxford University Press. We can relate that this score was presented to Oxford University Press for possible publication but turned down because they already publish a version of the Miserere by Allegri, edited ably by John Rutter. Though music sites show it is in English and Latin, the score is in Latin with an English transalation below, but not set to the music.

dooby

I found Johann Sebastian Bach somewhere so I used him, probs wrong though as he's not very modern
