Composers that were born in the USA, or gained the American nationality.
It is sometimes hard to tell when to call a composer modern, as opposed to Romantic. In general you can say that the Moder Eara in music started around the year 1900. However, many composers continued to write pieces in a romantic fashion long after that.
Minimal music is a composition style that became popular around 1980. Its main characteristic is the use of short musical ideas that are repeated very often, and then slightly changed during the composition.
