Taverner is an opera with music and libretto by Peter Maxwell Davies.
 It is based on the life of the 16th-century English composer John Taverner, but in what Davies himself acknowledged was a non-realistic treatment.
 The gestation for the opera dated as far back as 1956 during Davies's years in Manchester, and continued when he went to Princeton University in 1962.
 Davies produced several instrumental works related to the opera during this gestation period, including the "Points and Dances from 'Taverner and the "Second Fantasia on John Taverner's "In Nomine"".
 Davies had completed the opera in 1968, but lost parts of the score in a fire at his Dorset cottage in 1969, which necessitated recomposition.
The Symphony in C is an early work by the French composer Georges Bizet.
 According to "Grove's Dictionary", the symphony "reveals an extraordinarily accomplished talent for a 17-year-old student, in melodic invention, thematic handling and orchestration."
 Bizet started work on the symphony in C major on 29 October 1855, four days after turning 17, and finished it roughly a month later.
 It was written while he was studying at the Paris Conservatoire under the composer Charles Gounod, and was evidently a student assignment.
 Bizet showed no apparent interest in having it performed or published, and the piece was never played in his lifetime.
 He used certain material from the symphony in later works, however.
 There is no mention of the work in Bizet's letters, and it was unknown to his earlier biographers.
 His widow, Geneviève Halévy (1849–1926), gave the manuscript to Reynaldo Hahn, who left it along with other papers to the archives of the conservatory library, where it was found in 1933 by Jean Chantavoine.
 Soon thereafter, Bizet's first British biographer Douglas Charles Parker (1885–1970) showed the manuscript to the conductor Felix Weingartner, who led the first performance in Basel, Switzerland, on 26 February 1935.
Richard John Dufallo (30 January 1933 in Whiting, Indiana – 16 June 2000 in Denton, Texas) was an American clarinetist, author, and conductor with a broad repertory.
 He is most known for his interpretations of contemporary music.
 During the 1970s, he directed contemporary music series at both Juilliard and the Aspen Music Festival, where he succeeded Darius Milhaud as artistic director of the Conference on Contemporary Music.
 He was influential at getting American works accepted in Europe, and gave the first European performances of works by Charles Ives, Carl Ruggles, Jacob Druckman, and Elliott Carter as well as younger composers like Robert Beaser.
 Dufallo, as conductor, also premiered numerous works by European composers, including Karlheinz Stockhausen, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and Krzystof Penderecki.
 He was a former assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, and worked closely with Leonard Bernstein from 1965 to 1975.
 He also served as associate conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic.
The Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra is a composition for trumpet solo and orchestra by the British composer Peter Maxwell Davies.
 The work was commissioned by the Philharmonia Orchestra for its then principal trumpeter John Wallace.
 It was given its world premiere by Wallace and the Philharmonia Orchestra under the conductor Giuseppe Sinopoli in Hiroshima on 21 September 1988.
Neil Mackie (born 1946) is a Scottish tenor.
 During his career as a singer, he was associated with the works of 20th-century composers, particularly Benjamin Britten, and Peter Maxwell Davies.
 He created the title role in Davies's opera "The Martyrdom of St Magnus" and Sandy in his "The Lighthouse" and performed in the world premieres of Davies's "Into the Labyrinth", cantata for tenor and chamber orchestra, and "The Jacobite Rising".
 He has also premiered vocal works by Elliott Carter ("In Sleep, in Thunder"), Hans Werner Henze ("Three Auden Songs") and songs by Benjamin Britten.
Peter Maxwell Davies, an English composer and conductor, wrote music in many genres, notably ten symphonies and works for the stage, from the monodrama "Eight Songs for a Mad King" (first performed in 1969) to "The Hogboon" (scheduled to be performed in June 2016).
The Martyrdom of St Magnus is a chamber opera in one act (with nine scenes) by the British composer Peter Maxwell Davies.
 The libretto, by Davies himself, is based on the novel "Magnus" by George Mackay Brown.
 The opera was first performed in St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney on 18 June 1977.
Urbain Grandier (born in 1590 in Bouère, died in Mayenne – 18 August 1634 in Loudun) was a French Catholic priest who was burned at the stake after being convicted of witchcraft, following the events of the so-called "Loudun Possessions".
 The circumstances of Father Grandier's trial and execution have attracted the attention of writers Alexandre Dumas, père, Aldous Huxley and the playwright John Whiting, composers like Krzysztof Penderecki and Peter Maxwell Davies, as well as historian Jules Michelet and various scholars of European witchcraft.
 Most modern commentators have concluded that Grandier was the victim of a politically motivated persecution led by the powerful Cardinal Richelieu.
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies (8 September 1934 – 14 March 2016) was an English composer and conductor.
 In 2004 he was made Master of the Queen's Music.
Georges Bizet (] ; 25 October 18383 June 1875), registered at birth as Alexandre César Léopold Bizet, was a French composer of the romantic era.
 Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, "Carmen", which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.
