This incomplete table of compositions by Peter Maxwell Davies initially lists them chronologically, adding when availabe full title or subtitle, key, scoring, Op number, year of composition, genre, text information, and the link to the details on the official website.

Davies wrote music in many genres, notably ten symphonies and works for the stage, from the monodrama Eight Songs for a Mad King to Kommilitonen!, first performed in 2011. In the following table, the title is sometimes a common title, with a subtitle added in the same column, other details such as a full title or a description in the second column. The scoring is given if it is not obvious from the title, or unexpected, such as the tenth symphony which includes vocal parts. A year of composition follows, according to the website. The year of a first performance may be different. The column "Text" lists texts on which the work is based, or their author(s).
