Top ten American composers/songwriters

What is the American Spirit ?

At least 50 other companies have all that with Japan leading the way .USA has one less as it is a Republic , not a Democracy . And make no mistake , that is a BIG difference !.

Anyone who has an ear on modern pop music has bad taste .

IF humans exist on Planet Earth two hundred years from now Mozart
will still be played and not one person alive will have heard of Taylor Swift.
For every one who saw Mozart a flash in the pan many more thought him a juvenile genius .

They are esteemed composers who are out of favor at present but some
have not forgotten them .Every day my FM station ,"Classical Minnesota", plays composers from four or five hundreds of years ago who are seldom heard but not forgotten .
I am old but not a fogey .

He is Risen !

The BEST one is Samuel Barber !

 Barber is Universal !
Nobody would think  Appalachian Spring  and  much of his work as  American without the titles . Copland  never did .


Barbers Ädagio is the unofficial National Anthem  in times of grief ..Should be playing right now .
