No, you seem to have missed the point ( :o ). Those letters were already covered with an international selection (following your posting candidates for E-H) when I realized that Owlice most likely intended the list to comprise Americans (in honor of our Independence Day). In which case the preceding four ought be: Elfman, Foster, Gershwin, Higdon.
Yes! Dave's got it: American composers in honor of our Independence Day! An Alphabet of American Composers!
So we have:
Adams
Billings
Copland
Danielpour
Elfman
Foster
Gershwin
Higdon
Ives
Joplin
Knox
Lamb
so far! Keep up the excellent work, and no cheating by going to Wikipedia!! Look on your shelves, people, look on your CD shelves!! :D And a happy 4th to all!

Qie... I just know there's a Chinese-American starting with "Q."

Young
Zaimont/Zwilich
Ellington

Ruggles
Shields
Tudor
Ussachevsky

Wolff

Yau
Zorn
So it ain't 26, but still. Pretty good list notwithstanding, eh?

Ouch! I'm sure
I did . . . .
Should be H for Hamelin, obviously (http://nyphil.org/meet/archive/index.cfm?page=eventDetail&eventNum=1806&seasonNum=8&archive=1).

Schwanter?? On the 4th of July?? If only there was an American composer whose name begins with S who is indelibly associated with today, something about stars and stripes, maybe? ;D
Oh, and by the way, that Z all y'all are looking for? ZAPPA.
I wasn't looking for a Z. I got one already!
(It's a verra nice-a.)
Excellent job; thanks for playing, all!
