This composer wrote an opera based on material drawn from "Rappacini's Daughter," The Poisoned Kiss. His concerto for tuba may have been the first ever written, and another of his pieces is a tone poem about the East Anglian landscape called In the Fen Country. He used text from Walt Whitman's (*) Leaves of Grass in a choral work sometimes dubbed his first symphony. He wrote a work for solo violin without bar lines in the cadenzas that he based on a George Meredith poem. One of this composer's most famous works is for a three-part string orchestra and is based on a tune originally in the Phrygian mode, and another was adapted from a score he wrote to a film about Sir Robert Scott's South Pole explorations. For 10 points, name this British composer of Sinfonia Antarctica, The Lark Ascending and Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis.
