Royal wedding: Queen’s composer refuses to watch after being overlooked
20th March 2011
Sir Peter Maxwell-Davies was looking forward to composing a piece for the event, having been put “on standby” by Buckingham Palace.
Asked whether he would be watching the Royal wedding, he replied: “No.”
The Orkney-based composer said: “I’m fine about it really. My office was contacted and put on standby. I am the Queen’s Master of Music, but nothing was confirmed.”
But after months of waiting he has now accepted that this musical talents will not be required for next month’s ceremony – and yesterday announced that he would boycott the day completely.
