This web page/site is really an attempt to get my life in order and get together all of my works in one place (or at least a list of them in one place) and to find out what I actually have to show for this life. It (like most web sites) is a work in progress which advances as I get the time and the inclination to add to my collected list of scores and other efforts. Someday perhaps it will be complete. Most my works will eventually end up cataloged in the Köchel Catalog.
Active as Composer-in-Residence at the College of Charleston, South Carolina, for over 27 years, David W. Maves has composed over 200 works of which over half are published. A list of his compositions includes symphonies, concertos, works for symphonic band, works for chorus, an opera, Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding), text in Spanish by Federico García Lorca), much chamber music, some Gebrauchsmusik, and works for organ, harpsichord, and early music instruments (recorders and viols). Current (2005) projects include 2 concertos, one for guitar and one for piano, and a second opera, and various short works.
He was born in 1937 in Salem, Oregon and studied with Homer Keller at the University
of Oregon (B.M. 196l), Ross Lee Finney and Leslie Bassett at the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor (D.M.A. 1971). In 1964 he was appointed Ford Foundation
Composer-in-Residence in Raleigh, NC, and since has received various other awards
including several ASCAP awards, and two Sigma Alpha Iota Inter-American Awards.
His four Piano Sonatas have been recorded (1996) by pianist Max Lifchitz, and
Sonatas II, III, and IV published by MMB Music, St. Louis (the First Sonata
is published by C. F. Peters). Maves is working on a series of publications
and recordings of works for pipe organ, and another series of works for guitar.
