I'm currently listening to this, and thought I'd share this with you chaps:
There is a programme currently on the Beeb World Service which examines how music is composed - comparing the western traditions with those from other parts of the world. Very interesting and gives a good insight into the methods and the traditions. If you want to hear it from the BBC's web-site, here's the URL:

The series is in 4 parts, and I don't know for how long each part will be available on the web.
