Abstract A provocateur of contemporary classical music, Davies flared into the headlines in 1969 with the howl of Eight Songs for a Mad King - inspired by the story of George III, the piece demanded a small anvil, a football rattle and a scrubbing board, along with an orchestra. Forty-five years later, on the eve of his 80th birthday and awaiting the world premiere of his Symphony No 10, he is part of the establishment - knighted, master of the Queen's music and member of the Order of the Companions of Honour.

Forty-five years later, on the eve of his 80th birthday and awaiting the world premiere of his "Symphony No 10", he is part of the establishment knighted, master of the Queen's music, and member of the Order of the Companions of Honour. His choice of the symphony form, however, remains provocative. (Quotes from original text)
