One work by this composer features fast circular flute patterns, high piano, and bell figurations and demonstrates the composers influence from Balinese gamelan music. In addition to The Prince of the Pagodas, another work starts with bells and a chantlike chorus and features the use of the tritone as a unifying device. Another work's third movement begins in a ABA form and the violins begin the sentimental theme over a G pedal in the cellos and basses and is in the form of a saraband. Yet another work spotlights each instrument in the orchestra and is subtitled Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell. He is also known for operas such as Peter Grimes. For 10 points, name this English composer most famous for his War Requiem, Simple Symphony, and The Young Person
