This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to celebrate its 40th birthday. The first performance took place in June 1986 at St. Magnus' Cathedral, Kirkwall, as part of the tenth St. Magnus Festival. Written for and first performed by Isaac Stern, Davies's Violin Concerto brings together two streams in his music: symphonism and folk-fiddling. In its strongly developed substance, it asks to be measured in the company of Beethoven, Brahms and Sibelius, while there is also, particularly in the middle movement, a strong element of the Scots lament. The orchestra is generally muted in colour, though there is a dramatic role for the timpanist. There are three movements, played without a break - this is only one of many connections with the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. Duration c. 30mins.

The pictorial title of DIA (1979) with its wedge form refers to the idea of an arrow pointing through the multidimensional musical space of the piece -- the beginning of a trajectory crossing through all of it, visiting every point, but a trajectory free of any preordained form or curvature. The grand old man of Finnish Modernism Paavo Heininen (b. 1938) sees form as an idea of time and reflects it in one continuous movement with five distinct sections. DIA was commissioned NOMUS (National Federation of Swedish Orchestral Associations) and premiered by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leif Segerstam in September 1979. The edition of the score at hand is published to celebrate Paavo Heininen's 80th birthday. The edition includes the composer's forward from the year 1979 as well as aspects and memories about DIA written in August 2018.
