This man's observation of a bugler accidentally playing a seventh rather than an octave inspired him to include a cadenza for trumpet whose player is instructed not to use valves in his third symphony.
This man's observation of a bugler accidentally playing a seventh rather than an octave inspired him to include a cadenza for trumpet whose player is instructed not to use valves in his third symphony. One of his compositions calls for a full string orchestra, a separate, smaller string orchestra, and a string quartet, in order to imitate the sound of an organ. His second symphony's finale features a harp imitating the Westminster chimes and depicts a number of other (*) London landmarks. One of his works uses the violin to represent the title bird of a George Meredith poem, while another is based on the Phrygian-mode melody "Why Fum'th in Fight", which was written by the composer of Spem in Alium. For 10 points, name this British composer of The Lark Ascending and Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis.
