Very surprising indeed that Copland's 3rd wasn't mentioned, it is certainly performed far more often than any of the ones on the list. The most performed work actually on that list is the Barber, which is great.
For me personally, Charles Ives is the quintessential American composer, and I would pick the 4th out of that particular list. I also am a big fan of Harris and Piston and Schuman. I think Walter Piston might be the most underrated American composer.
