Peter Maxwell Davies (1934- )
Known
to his friends simply as Max, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is one of the
most prolific and frequently performed of British composers. His
several hundred compositions draw from an eclectic array of influences,
from Indian music to serialism to Renaissance polyphony. Davies has
also worked tirelessly in the area of music education and as an
environmental activist. The precocious Davies made his musical
debut in a BBC broadcast at age eight. His education continued at Leigh
Grammar School and from 1952 at Manchester University, where he
received an M.A. in 1957. He also attended the Royal Manchester College
of Music from 1952 to 1956, where he and fellow musicians Sir Harrison
Birtwistle, John Ogdon, Alexander Goehr, and Elgar Howarth formed New
Music Manchester—a group devoted to the performance of twentieth
century works. The Italian government provided Davies with a
scholarship in 1957, allowing him to study in Italy for a year with
Goffredo Petrassi. From 1959 to 1962, Davies was director of music at
the Cirencester Grammar School, where he developed a teaching method
based on musical performance. Since then he has written often for
children, and continues to devote significant time to education. He
spent the next two years in the United States, studying at Princeton
University's graduate school with Roger Sessions and Earl Kim on a
Harkness Fellowship. He wrote The Shepherd's Calendar (1965) for young
singers and instrumentalists for the 1965 UNESCO Conference on Music in
Education in Sydney, Australia, and was a visiting composer at Adelaide
University in 1966. Back in England in 1967, Davies formed the Pierrot
Players with Birtwistle. The Players specialized in performances of
contemporary music, and Davies wrote many works for them, including his
infamous Eight Songs for a Mad King (1969). He took over sole
directorship of the Players in 1970, reforming them as the Fires of
London (which he continued to lead and compose for until he disbanded
the group in 1987). During the 1960s, Davies became interested in John
Taverner, the sixteenth century English composer. In 1962, he wrote the
award-winning First Fantasia on an In Nomine of John Taverner, and
started work on his first opera, Taverner, which was premiered in 1972.
In 1970, Davies relocated to the Orkney Islands; Orcadian subject
matter, in particular, the writings of George Mackey Brown and the
Orcadian St. Magnus became a significant part of his music. Brown's
writings have inspired works like Black Pentecost (1979) and the
massive Orkney Saga project (the first two of its proposed fourteen
parts appeared in 1997). In 1977, Davies organized the St. Magnus
Festival, which he directed until 1986. The Yellow Cake Revue for
singers and piano (1980) features a text by Davies criticizing proposed
uranium mining in the Orkneys and is just one of his compositions
reflecting his environmental concerns. Davies received his knighthood
in 1987. Two years earlier, he became the Associate Composer-Conductor
of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, an association which led to the
Strathclyde Concerto Project, a set of ten concertos for various
instruments written over the years 1987 to 1996. His interest in
children's music continued with the frequently performed The Turn of
the Tide (1992), in which Davies' music is combined with compositions
by school children. Among his numerous commissioned works are An Orkney
Wedding, with Sunrise (1984), written for the centennial of the Boston
Pops; The Doctor of Myddfai (1995), his second full-scale opera,
written for the fiftieth anniversary of the Welsh National Opera; and
the Symphony No. 8, "Antarctic" (2000), commissioned by the
Philharmonia Orchestra.- Chris Morrison, All Music Guide
