US composer Charles (4)

I believe the answer is:

ives

(Other definitions for ives that I've seen before include "St -, Cornish resort" , "American composer of Three Places in New England, d. 1954" , "he composed" , "Saint of Cornwall or Cambridgeshire" , "This classical composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
