Aaron Copland
Aaron Copland (New York, 1900eko azaroaren 14a - Peekskill, New York, 1990eko abenduaren 2a) estatubatuar musikagilea izan zen, "Estatubatuar musikagileen dekanoa" bezala ezaguna. Parisen musika ikasi zuen, besteak beste Nadia Boulangerrekin, bere gustu eklektikoa inspiratu zuena. Estatu Batuetara itzultzean, musikaz irakatsi eta idatzi zuen. 1930eko hamarkadan, bere estilo modernista aldatu eta eskuragarriago bihurtu zen. 1940ko hamarkadaren amaieran, Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg eta Pierre Boulezen eraginez, lan serialistak konposatu zituen. 1960 hamarkadatik orkestra zuzendaritzan aritu zen batez ere. Ballet eta orkestra-lanez gain, ganbera-musika, ahots-musika, opera eta zinemarako musika konposatu zituen.
