Question

This composer dedicated a Romance for Strings, Piano, and Harmonica to Larry Adler. A Minuet and Musette in C Dorian is the second movement of this composer’s A minor oboe concerto, which borrows from the discarded Scherzo of his similarly pastoral-mooded fifth symphony. Clifford Bevan notes that Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky's “Bydlo” may have inspired this composer’s F minor bass tuba concerto, the first in the repertoire. This composer set “Dives and Lazarus” and (*) “Seventeen Come Sunday” (10[1])in the opening march of his English Folk Song Suite for military band. (-5[1])A rising pentatonic figure represents the title creature of a piece for violin and orchestra by this composer based on a poem by George Meredith. For 10 points, name this English composer of Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis and (10[1])The Lark Ascending. ■END■ (10[3]0[4])
