This first book-length study to focus on Peggy Glanville-Hicks, the
important twentieth-century composer and critic who was born in
Australia in 1912 and who established her reputation in the U.S. in
the late 1940s and 1950s, documents the composer's music,
performances, and critical writings, as well as the work of
previous biographers, bibliographers, and interviewers. This
volume, the most recent in Greenwood's respected series of research
tools in the field of music, contains a comprehensive biography of
the composer that draws on the writings and recollections of many
of the composer's close friends and colleagues. Deborah Hayes'
compilation of the great amount of material about Glanville-Hicks
and her music found in journals, books, newspapers, dictionaries,
and encyclopedias of music also contains alphabetical,
chronological, and by-genre lists of works with details of first
performances and other significant performances, a discography, and
an annotated bibliography that includes abstracts and quotations
from performance reviews. Bibliographic entries are keyed to lists
of works, recordings, and performances. The work is indexed as
well. The work is divided into six cross-referenced chapters
beginning with a biography that gives a chronological account of
the composer's life and examines recurring themes in her work. The
second chapter lists 70 compositions in chronological order by year
of composition, from 1931 to 1989, and includes information on
publisher, duration, instrumentation, and commission. Premieres and
other selected performances are indicated and references are given
to recordings and to bibliographical items. A publishers directory,
an alphabetical list of works, and a classified list complete the
chapter which is followed by a discography of Glanville-Hicks'
commercial recordings, both in and out of print. Chapter four's
annotated listing of the composer's writings in chronological order
from 1945 to 1989 documents the scope of her interests and provides
a record of this period in American musical history in the words of
a perceptive, articulate listener and active participant.
Alphabetized by author and title, music reviews, performance
reviews, feature articles, publicity items, and press announcements
are listed with annotations in Chapter five. Items from all
previous Glanville-Hicks bibliographies and from library clipping
files and indexes are included no matter how brief the reference. A
final chapter devoted to archival resources lists materials by
library in alphabetical order by country and name. This informative
and easy-to-use volume will be a necessary addition to the
reference collections of college and university music libraries and
would be useful for courses in Twentieth-Century Music, Opera, Art
Song, Music of the U.S., American Studies, and Women's Studies.
