The Music of Peggy Glanville-Hicks by Victoria Rogers PDF Summary

Book Description: Peggy Glanville-Hicks (1912-1990) is an Australian composer whose full significance has only recently been appreciated. She produced over seventy finely-crafted works, including operas, ballets, concertos, instrumental chamber pieces, songs and choral works. This book traces the development of her musical language from the English pastoral style of the early works, through the neoclassicism of the middle period, to the melody-rhythm concept of the late works, at the same time locating her music within the broader context of twentieth-century art music and the problems of form, structure, content and direction that followed the breakdown of tonality at the beginning of the twentieth century.
