This composer wrote a series of five pieces, the second of which features a tenor and alto representing Abraham and Isaac; a setting of Edith Sitwell's "Still Falls the Rain" is the third of those Five Canticles. He wrote a piece for string orchestra in which variations entitled "Aria italiana," "Funeral March," and "Chant" each represented an aspect of his former teacher's personality.  One movement from his best-known choral work intersperses the Lacrimosa with a text beginning "Move him into the sun" and also includes settings of "Strange Meeting" and "Anthem for Doomed Youth," poems by Wilfred Owen. For 10 points, name this British composer of Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge and War Requiem, who also wrote the operas Billy Budd and Peter Grimes.
