I'm trying to think of a popular American classical composer, and I'm drawing a blank! Of course, Europe and Russia had many, many years to produce great composers, while the U.S. is comparatively a very young country.
George Gershwin
Charles Ives
Aaron Copland
Leonard Bernstein
John Adams
Philip Glass

These are the ones off the top of my head that I can think of. The first 4 are more in the Traditional Classical Music vein. The other two are of the Modern School that is trying to break down the traditional Classical Musical idiom and create something new. To my ears most Modern Classical Music sounds like chalk on a blackboard.
