Maxwell Davies, Peter - Eight Songs for a Mad King (Vocal Score)
Instrumentation: (Vocal Score)
ISMN: 9790060116575
Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes MP Ltd.
"Long established as a classic of music-theatre, the work is an extravagant, disturbing and poignant portrayal of madness. The king is George III of England - or maybe another madman who believes himself to be that monarch - vocalizing weirdly as he bemoans his fate and tries to teach his instrumentalist-birds to sing."
