64. James Wierzbicki / Peter Maxwell Davies James Wierzbicki / writings. peter maxwell davies. interview re EightSongs for a Mad King . THE BRITISH COMPOSER peter maxwell davies http://pages.sbcglobal.net/jameswierzbicki/davies.htm

James Wierzbicki / writings Peter Maxwell Davies interview re: "Eight Songs for a Mad King" THE BRITISH COMPOSER Peter Maxwell Davies says he never set out to shock listeners when he created, in 1969, a cycle of songs based in part on texts attributed to England's King George III. Yet the audience that attended the premiere in London's Queen Elizabeth Hall inApril of that year was hardly prepared for the psychological impact ''Eight Songs for a Mad King'' would have on them. As will doubtless be discovered by persons who witness the Davies-supervised performance of the work Tuesday evening in Washington University's Edison Theatre, 16 years later the piece is still very capable of giving listeners a jolt. The music's excursions into ear-jarring dissonance came as no surprise to that first London audience. Deliberately harsh and ''ugly'' sounds were par for the course in British avant-garde music during the turbulent '60s, and by the end of the decade Davies had already demonstrated numerous times that he was willing to spice his generally tonal and tuneful work with clashes of the most garish sort. Nor were the work's appropriations of music of the past - most notably early-18th-century songs and 1920s-style swing - in any way unexpected. Trained in historical musicology as well as composition, Davies had worked with paraphrases of older music since his undergraduate days at the Royal College of Music in Manchester. Among his earliest published pieces are the 1957 ''Alma Redemptoris Mater'' for wind sextet, which is based on a sample from the Sarum plainchant, and the 1958 ''St. Michael Sonata'' for largewind ensemble, which incorporates into its texture fragments of the traditional Gregorian Requiem setting. His early references to medieval music were more subtle than obvious, but by 1964 Davies was unabashedly dealing with full-blown and only thinly-disguised musical quotations, using them as sonic dramatis personae whose ''personalities'' often changed drastically during the unfolding of a composition.

Interestingly, All American music dates from 1983, making it almost exactly contemporary with the first (and earliest written) chapter of Perspectives on Peter Maxwell Davies tout court Strathclyde concerto It is evidently assumed that potential readers of this book will have a chronological work list to hand; there is at any rate none here. And since a piecemeal imparting of information is one of the major hazards of compiling any symposium, it is a pity that an absence of sub-headings, not to mention dates and forces involved, creates quite unnecessary confusion throughout. To take but one example: aficionados will of course not need to be told of the relationship between the Sixth Symphony and the unidentified Time and the Raven Time and the Raven Time and the Raven , or Time and the Raven sic M Alma Redemptoris Mater

75. Peter Maxwell Davies SOME 15 years ago we built a small chamber organ for peter maxwell davies in hiscrofter s cottage on the Orkney island of Hoy (famous for its Old Man , the http://www.mander-organs.com/html/body_peter_maxwell_davies_section_1.html

The Organ Before Dismantling in Hoy S The key compass was 8ft F to top f, 49 notes as there was not really room for more. Peter Maxwell Davies sometimes uses the organ for playing through the music he has composed, but (surprisingly to some) he actually does all his composition in his head. So he uses the organ for pleasure rather than actual composition. Oh yes, and the cottage was then about 1 1/2 miles from the end of the road and it had to be carried the rest of the way which was another good reason for making it small. Scapa Flow A view of Hoy At Rackwick I was met by Hutch who offered me a cup of tea. Hutch still has no mains electricity in his cottage, relying on gas cylinders for cooking, peat for heating and an old wind generator for low voltage electricity hooked up to batteries for his television, lighting and radio. From there up the steep hill between the sheep to PMD's cottage, opening the door, looking around and then another trip for the blankets and tools. At that point the first (and only really major) problem presented itself. The key for the padlock to the outhouse was the wrong one. (Maybe it should be explained to our American cousins that an outhouse usually contains, as in this instance, what they euphemistically call a bathroom. I don't think that Americans will believe that most Brits over about 50 will remember outside loos only too well.) Anyway, nothing that could not become overcome with a screwdriver, the which I had of course - for the hasp of the padlock.

Edward Albert, baritone Opera Sacra Buffalo conducted by Charles Peltz Karen Bentley, violin Susan Royal, flutes, piccolo John Fullam, clarinet, bass-clarinet Ted Mook, cello Stephen Drury, piano, celesta Michael Pugliese, percussion Children's Band directed by Matthew Cool String Quartet (1952) The Arditti Quartet Peter Maxwell Davies has received much deserved attention in recent years as one of England's greatest living composers, with many recordings of his music appearing on various labels. Mode is especially proud to add two previously unrecorded works to Davies' catalog. The String Quartet from 1952 is Davies' earliest published composition written when he was 18; a work which remained unplayed for many years until the Arditti Quartet took it up and performed it for the composer on a special occasion. Yet this is no typical "student" workit is a whirlwind movement which already looks forward to the style of the composer to come, with dancing cross-rhythms and hints of Bartok, jazz and Indian music (which Davies later wrote a dissertation on). Le Jongleur de Notre Dame of 1978 is from an important period of Davies' work. Written and scored for his special ensemble of that time, The Fires of London, it is a virtuoso theater-piece. The libretto, here by the composer, is based on the French tale by Anatole France about a juggler who performs his act before the Virgin Mary and gains her blessing. In Le Jongleur, the juggler is a mime with musical counterparts. The narrative is carried by The Abbot (a baritone), and other brothers represented by the flute, clarinet and percussion. This cheerfully unpretentious work opens and closes with an Overture and Recessional performed by a children's band, who march in (and out), to great sonic effect, of the church where the recording took place.
