Hi Drealm
Hope the following is helpful:
Mike Oldfield was influenced by two modern classical composers:
1) Philip Glass . It is clear that both Philip and Mike admire each others works and there are clear similarities and influences.
2) David Bedford: This is the guy who initiated the Orchestral Tubular Bells , his work is interesting .
Could I recommend a starter?
On Banks Of Green Willow By Butterwork nice harmonious work well worth a listen.

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
