Aaron Copeland

Oh, I just cannot express how much I love his music.

He just has such fantastic music. He has a rivalry, though.

Stravinsky.

What classical composer do you like? (Besides the obvious - Mozart, Chopin, etc...)

Well, Chopin wasn't Classical, he was Romantic. The divisions are:

Baroque: 1600-1750
Classical: 1750-1800
Romantic: 1800-1920
- Early: 1800-1830
- Middle: 1830-1870
- Late: 1870-1920
Modern: 1920-

Thus, Aaron Copland [correct spelling] was Modern, and Stravinsky was Lat Romantic into Modern.

For Classical, my favourite is Mozart (sorry to be so obvious). Though I generally prefer Baroque, my musical tastes are varied and eclectic (e.g. I'm a big fan of Tangerine Dream).

In the Modern period, I like Aaron Copland, John Tavener, Arvo Pärt, Maurice Duruflé, John Rutter, and especially Gabriel Fauré (I consider "Cantique de Jean Racine" to be one of the most sublimely beautiful songs ever written).
