Note: Gabrielle is a rabid Copland Fangirl and once had a music professor tell her that he would not be surprised that she would marry Aaron Copland if it were possible. Copland was actually alive when the professor made this statement, however the 70 year age different might have been a challenge. :-)
Here is a description of Aaron Copland taken directly from the font of all knowledge, Wikipedia:
Aaron Copland (November 14, 1900 – December 2, 1990) was an American composer of concert and film music, as well as an accomplished pianist. Instrumental in forging a distinctly American style of composition, he was widely known as “the dean of American composers.” Copland's music achieved a balance between modern music and American folk styles. The open, slowly changing harmonies of many of his works are said to evoke the vast American landscape. He also incorporated percussive orchestration, changing meter, polyrhythms, polychords and tone rows in a broad range of works for concert hall, theater, ballet, and films. Aside from composing, Copland was a teacher, lecturer, critic, writer, and conductor (generally, but not always) of his own works.
