Overview

"Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is one of Britain's most distinguished composers. This source book documents as much of the material on his music as is currently available. As Richard McGregor points out in his foreword to the volume, Stewart Craggs has made valuable advances in sorting out the origins of many unknown works and gleaning details of many private compositions. The book also supplies details of those unknown works which have not appeared in any previous catalogues, including broadcasts of early works from the BBC Archives." With information given on first performances, manuscript locations and recordings, in addition to details of composition dates, authors/librettists, durations, commissions and dedications amongst much else, this book is a key reference source for all those interested in Peter Maxwell Davies and his music.
