ABSTRACT
Glanville-Hicks embarked upon her journalistic career in 1945 with an article about the music of Paul Bowles, published in Music and Letters under the name of Glanville-Hicks. Glanville-Hicks's writings extended well beyond the New York Herald Tribune and spanned more than two decades, from 1945 to 1966. Glanville-Hicks's work in arts administration, like her work in music journalism, not only provided an income; it was also to play an important part in shaping her development as a composer. The Composers' Forum lay at the heart of New York's contemporary music scene; it offered much sought-after performance opportunities for both aspiring and more established composers, and Glanville-Hicks was the first point of contact, the public face of the organization. The first and third movements are written largely in a consonant harmonic style, with rapidly changing modes, keys and tonal centres used to articulate the musical structure.
