Byrd and Tallis
Over the years many English composers (or composers residing in England) have collected folk songs by either memorising and then writing it down, or by recording them. During the early 20th Century, Folk Song collecting was becoming quite a past time of composers such as Holst, Britten and Vaughan-Williams. However, it was Australian born composer Percy Grainger who famously cycled up and down England recording Folk Music over 200 times on his Thomas Edison Phonograph.
The composer George Handel is considered a master of Italian opera and the English oratorio and became one of England's most important composers. He was a favorite of Queen Anne.
This question suggests that there has only been one famous composer of programme music. There have been many such. Are you trying to identify one specific composer (in which case you need to supply enough details for someone to be able to work out whom you mean), or are you looking for a list of some famous composers of programme music?
