ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book traces the development of Glanville-Hicks's music in the context of the biographical and social circumstances that shaped it. It must of necessity impose boundaries around its subject. The book utilizes formal analysis and established methods of tonal analysis. It offers a revised list of compositions. On the basis of hayes's enumeration together with the available evidence, it is estimated that Glanville-Hicks wrote 76 works. The book draws largely upon hayes; any differences stem from the date of completion which Glanville-Hicks included at the end of her scores, the composer's dates having been taken as definitive. It will also be selective in terms of the works included for discussion, it being clearly beyond the scope of the study to provide a detailed analysis of all of Glanville-Hicks's compositions.
