One of this man's works opens as the tenor trombone and then English horn quote from the medieval hymn Pange Lingua before the chorus enters with the Vexilla Regis Prodeunt, and that work also narrates an initiation ritual between a student and master.

The body of that Hymn of Jesus was taken from the Gnostic gospels, while Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native provided the inspiration for his tone poem Egdon Heath, and he inserted "Greensleeves" into the "Dargason" movement which concludes a suite written for string orchestra while he was music director at a girl's school. That period also saw the completion of the Brook Green Suite and a work which depicts "The Mystic," "The Bringer of Peace," and "The Bringer of Jollity." For 10 points, name this composer of St. Paul's Suite and The Planets.
