Davies, Peter Maxwell 
English composer and conductor. His music combines medieval and serial techniques with a heightened expressionism as in his opera Taverner (1970), based on the life and works of the 16th-century composer John Taverner. Other works include the chamber opera The Lighthouse (1980), the music-theatre piece Miss Donnithorne's Maggot (1974), and the orchestral piece Mavis in Las Vegas (1997).
He is the associate conductor/composer of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Philharmonic, and the composer laureate of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
