I was going to mention Copeland but I only know him via ELP's Fanfare For The Common Man. To be fair America has a rich blues and jazz legacy which Europe never really had and also the best composers of musicals with the likes of Sondheim, Gershwin, Leiber, Stoller etc, perhaps not to be sniffed at!

Hi,

I was gonna say, that America is better known for its jazz and blues, than its classical music, by saying this with a funny twisting of the wording.

But America, was/is a young country and their time will come in music, maybe, once the commercial controls change some ... right now, most companies will not bother recording classical music because it doesn't sell, enough to even buy an orchestra a couple of lunches and dinners!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
