Question

A piccolo and tuba duet in 6/8 beginning with a descending F major triad ends a movement by this composer that opens with an alto sax solo on the same theme. The low brass notes [read slowly] E-flat, F, up to C, B-flat open a first movement chaconne by this composer. A flute introduces an eight-note ostinato that repeats throughout the finale of this composer’s suite Beni Mora. In a piece by this composer, a solo euphonium quotes the folk song “Swansea Town.” This composer (-5[1])quoted “Greensleeves” in (-5[1])the “Fantasia on (10[1])the Dargason” that concludes his Second Suite in F for (-5[1])military band. The door to an offstage women’s choir (10[1])is shut to conclude a suite by this composer that opens with (-5[1])a movement subtitled “The Bringer (10[1])of War.” For 10 points, name this English composer of The (10[4]0[1])Planets. ■END■
