| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 音樂學系 === 103 === Sir Peter Maxwell Davies is currently an active English composer, music educator and conductor. Through co-founding the chamber music ensemble “Pierrot Players”, Davies had enthusiastically explored the possibilities in music theater creation and practices in this phase.

The thesis mainly discusses the diverse facets of human voice and its expansion in music theater practices through researching on Davies’s Eight Songs for a Mad King. The composer puts the compositional idioms into practice in her own composition.
