- National Sun Yat-sen University, School of Music, 70 Lina Hai Road, 804, Taiwan
Studie reflektuje kompoziční praktiky tzv. staré hudby v díle Naxos Quartet č. 8 (2005) skladatele Petera Maxwella Daviese. Text ukazuje skladatelovy experimenty s renesančním polyfonní i se středověkou hudbou, respektive jejich modernizace v rámci jeho aktuální tvorby. Anglické barokní hudební prvky jsou v dané kompozici odvozeny z díla Johna Dowlanda Queen Elizabeth's Galliard, zde se fúzují s hudebními myšlenkami Henry Purcella (1659-1695). Hudba období klasicismu se u Daviese objevuje také. V řadě ohledů vyvíjí Daviesova hudba na posluchače nemalé nároky.

Peter Maxwell Davies' Interpretation of Past Musical Practices in Naxos Quartet No. 8
This study explores Davies' allusions to past practices in a contemporary context in his Naxos Quartet No. 8 (2005). The work demonstrates Davies' experiments with Renaissance polyphonic writing and Medieval practice, modifying them to make them modern in his composition. Baroque English musical elements in the composition are derived from John Dowland's Queen Elizabeth's Galliard, joined with musical styles and ideas from Henry Purcell (1659-1695). Logical structure of Classical period is also employed in the music. Listeners are certainly challenged in many ways by Davies' musical language in the composition.
