This man wrote two lesser known oratorios after a better known first, The Apostles and The Kingdom. One of this man's famous works dispensed with the usual formula of its type in favor of continuous musical texture, The Dream of Gerontius oratorio, and he also wrote a programmatic overture, Cockaigne, or In London Town.  Of his most famous work, the composer claimed that it was fourteen variations on a countermelody to a theme that was left unheard, hence its title. For ten points, identify this British composer, who wrote the Enigma Variations and also a song often played at graduations, Pomp and Circumstance.
