Copland, no E (named for Aaron Copland, the American composer)
Ah, I could have sworn it's Copeland. Thanks for the correction.
It is an unusual spelling and there is some trivia about it, it turns out — it's an anglicisation of "Kaplan", either by his father or by an official at Ellis Island:

Copland is enunciated "cope-land".. enunciation cop-land would be "copp(e)land". Your memory is probably accurate.
