"As long as you look only at the situation in the world today, it will be very hard . . . to overcome your worries because it is true that there are many problems and the future is unknown to us. Lift your eyes beyond your circumstances and learn instead to trust God. Worrying . . . won't change anything."

Peter Maxwell Davies

Time

Peter Maxwell Davies
"I'm very interested, for instance, in music in education - getting young people not only to listen to, but participate in the music that I write. I consider this one of the most vital aspects of my work."

Education

Peter Maxwell Davies
"I know what I want at least, and the older I get I think I'm better at getting it out of players and singers."

Want

Quote_1.png
Peter Maxwell Davies
"If you're writing a piece for the Boston Pops, the balance is towards one end. If you're writing a piece for a chamber music society, then it's towards another point. I won't make a final answer on that. I think it changes with every piece."

Music

"You don't underestimate either players or audience in any circumstances."
