well jokes aside he's an american classical composer from the 20th century who took some traditional american motifs & blended them into his compositions including i think some operas?

at some point in the 70s emerson lake & palmer did a flashy, bloated, virtuoso version of "hoedown" (from copland's suite "rodeo", what robinstigator played)-- you've heard that (as 56 pointed out) in the "it's what for dinner" beef commercial. let's see if i can find you a clip...

anyway that's certainly not his best shit. i much prefer "appalachian spring". check it out sometime.
