This composer gave a Wales-inspired melody to the solo viola in the slow opening of a one-movement piece scored for string quartet and string orchestra.
This composer gave a Wales-inspired melody to the solo viola in the slow opening of a one-movement piece scored for string quartet and string orchestra. Like Ravel, he composed an Introduction and Allegro in 1905. He included several instances of a "Windflower" theme in his violin concerto and used woodwind thirty-second notes to gently parody his friend (*) Dora Penny in another piece. His E minor cello concerto was revived by an acclaimed recording headed by Jacqueline du Pré. He portrayed his editor Augustus Jaeger as the title mighty hunter in the "Nimrod" movement of his Enigma Variations. He also wrote six pieces commonly used as incidental music for graduation ceremonies. For 10 points, name this English composer of the Pomp and Circumstance marches.
