This man composed a ballet about the title necromancer in Grohg. A movement titled "Corral Nocturne" in one of his works makes heavy use of the oboe and bassoon. He included Camptown Races along with excerpts of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln Portrait. Another piece of his depicts pioneers trekking westward and follows the life of Billy the Kid. He included the Shaker melody "Simple Gifts" in one work, while another opens with "Buckaroo Holiday" and closes with the famous "Hoe-down." For 10 points, name this 20th century American composer of Appalachian Spring, Fanfare for the Common Man and Rodeo.
