full_question: One of this man's compositions takes its title from a novel by Robert Smythe Hichens, and ends with a movement in which a solo flute introduces the first of 163 repetitions of an eight-note theme. That work by this man ends with the movement "In the Street of the Ouled Naïls" ("nah-eels") and was inspired by a recuperative bicycle trip across the Sahara. Another of his compositions contains a section that opens in 6/4 time with the four-dotted- whole-note figure G, E-flat, A, B; that section ends with an unexpected F9 chord. Parallel fourths in the flutes play over a held D in the violins in an odd moment from a work by this man subtitled "An Homage to Thomas Hardy". This composer of Beni Mora used a series of doors and multiple wordless choruses of women to achieve its fade-out effect in the final section of a suite whose first section opens with a 5/4 ostinato and is nicknamed "Bringer of War". For 10 points, name this English composer of Egdon Heath and The Planets.
