His "O How Amiable" for choir and organ concludes with a quotation of the hymn tune "St. Anne". He wrote the song collections Flos Campi and On Wenlock Edge for chamber instrumentation and voices, and his three-year stint as a hymnal editor led to his contributing the tune "Sine Nomine". He named the second of his nine symphonies for London and three rhapsodies for Norfolk, the latter of which he first used of the melodies he collected from English folk songs. For ten points, what English composer's best-known works include his Fantasias on Greensleeves and on a Theme of Thomas Tallis?
