Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is universally acknowledged as one of the foremost composers of our time. His charismatic and versatile musical personality, coupled with the world-wide spread of performances has meant that he reaches an unusually large and varied public. As the critic in the Wiener Zeitung wrote following a concert of all Maxwell Davies works at the Musikverein in Vienna “A great and significant occasion on the Vienna concert scene and the public took full advantage of it: the Musikverein was almost fully booked and scarcely anyone left in the interval. I know of no other living composer who could bring that off with a programme consisting entirely of his own works.” Maxwell Davies is also active as a conductor and has recently finished ten years as Composer/Conductor of both the BBC Philharmonic and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras, and is Composer Laureate with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. He has also conducted many orchestras in Europe and North America, including the Cleveland Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Russian National Orchestra, the Oslo Philharmonic and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Future commissions include a cycle of ten string quartets which have been commissioned by the CD company Naxos, and which will be launched and performed in entirety at the Wigmore Hall in London over a period of five years, and a Mass for Westminster Cathedral.

Peter Maxwell Davies The following interview was a backgrounder for a feature article that ran in the Pasadena Star-News in advance of Los Angeles area performances of two works of his - the Violin Concerto, performed by Isaac Stern and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Little String Quartet No. 2, performed by the Alexander Quartet at a Coleman Chamber Concert in Pasadena. I spoke with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies on January 11, 1988. DB: Let me ask you about the Violin Concerto that is going to be performed here (in Los Angeles) by Isaac Stern. What can you tell me about it? PMD: Well, for a start, I wrote it for Isaac so it’s, I hope, a warm and lyrical piece. Also, I don't know if you know that I live in Orkney in the north of Scotland - DB: Oh yes, that's well known! PMD: - which has got a very strong folk fiddle tradition, and the piece has got quite a lot of folk fiddle elements in it from that particular region of Scotland. It's the kind of thing you hear when you go to a pub there, you know, where there's a fiddle or to dance and playing dance tunes. It's got a lot of that in it, particularly the tune in the slow movement. It could be a kind of folk tune although it isn't. DB: So you would say that this is actually a very listenable piece for your lay audience that might not be familiar with your earlier output.

The stylistic range therefore is vast, from the extended tonal writing of the earliest pieces through the serial based works while a student in Manchester to pieces using Medieval influences and the more simplified language which Davies exploited in his large-scale orchestral works. A welcome release and vital document of the stylistic development of one of Britain's most influential composers performed by leading interpreters of new and recent music. TOP

Peter Maxwell Davies (1934- ) Eight Songs for a Mad King (1969) Words by Randolph Stow and George III For baritone, flute (doubling piccolo), clarinet, percussion (1 player - see score for details), piano (doubling harpsichord), violin and cello Notes on the Music by Maxwell Davies The flute, clarinet, violin and cello, as well as having their usual accompanimental functions in this work, also represent on one level, the bullfinches the King was trying to teach to sing. The King has extended 'dialogues' with these players individually - in No. 3 with the flute, in No. 4 the cello, in No. 6 the clarinet, and in No. 7 the violin. The percussion player stands for the King's 'keeper'. Just as the music of the players is always a comment upon and extension of the King's music, so the 'bullfinch' and 'keeper' aspects of the players' roles are physical extensions of this musical process - they are projections stemming from the King's words and music, becoming incarnations of facets of the King's own psyche. The sounds made by human beings under extreme duress, physical and metal, will be at least in part familiar. With Roy Hart's extended vocal range, and his capacity for producing chords with his voice (like the clarinet and flute in this work), these poems presented a unique opportunity to categorize and exploit these techniques to

16. Peter Maxwell Davies And The Problem Of Classicizing Modernism peter maxwell davies and the Problem of Classicizing Modernism. Transcriptof a paper presented at the Paul Sacher Stiftung, Basle http://www.maxopus.com/essays/classmod.htm

Peter Maxwell Davies and the Problem of Classicizing Modernism Transcript of a paper presented at the Paul Sacher Stiftung, Basle, on 25 April 1996 by Arnold Whittall First, a brief contribution to the semantic debate. It's obvious that to bring 'classical' and 'modernist' (or any associated forms of these terms) together is to ask for trouble. So I'm not going to agonize over what these words 'really' mean: over whether or not they are complementary, contradictory, or both. Instead, I'll simply declare that their use, separately or together, has a role to play in musicological and critical discussions of musical meaning: and thisis particularly true when musicologists and critics acknowledge that musical meaning is an inescapably plural phenomenon. Like the diminished seventh chord in Schoenberg's famous metaphor, musical meaning 'is nowhere a permanent resident - it is a cosmopolitan or a tramp!' To which we should add, for the benefit of our present topic - a tramp with both classical and modernist attributes. I'm going to play the first five minutes of Peter Maxwell Davies's Third Symphony , composed in 1984 - the first five minutes of an 18-minute first movement from a 4-movement work lasting just over 50 minutes. What it's possible to hear in this extract is a process of evolution, of change. Initially, the music focuses quietly on D, exposing a contrast between the tritonal counterpole of G sharp (timpani) and the diatonic dominant of A (flutes). Proceeding through a succession of distinct segments that are in certain respect variants of the first, the music embeds its saliently-placed references to that initial harmonic entity in increasingly complex textures: these textures subject tonal focus to intensifying stress and strain until, eventually, the music seems to float free of tonal focus altogether - or at least of any overt presentation of such focus.
