2009 marks the 75th birthday of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, an
occasion that presents an opportunity for reflection upon, and
appreciation of, a period of compositional achievement that extends
from the 1950s to the present. This book forms part of that
reflection through a statement of the current condition of research
on Maxwell Davies's music. Detailed analytical discussions of
individual works, such as the opera Taverner and the First
Symphony, coexist with broader issues and perspectives, including
Davies's own writings about music, his engagement with sonata form,
the compositional source, problems of text, and the situating of
this music within and in relation to 'modern times'. The book
describes selected works from all periods of Davies's rich and
diverse career, resulting in a portrait of the music that, while it
may be incomplete, reveals the essence of this remarkable composer
and his music.
