Essay by Karen L. CarterSchwendler for the International Alliance for Women in Music discusses perceived biases in Thomson's musical criticism toward women composers.
http://music.acu.edu/www/IAWM/articles/june95/thomson.html

Extractions: The concert reviews of the American composer, essayist, and music critic Virgil Thomson (1896-1989) are generally accepted as some of the best writing about music, indeed as models of good criticism. For Thomson, the career of critic involved cultivating a reputation as a strong-minded polemicist, a consummate promoter and interpreter of contemporary musical culture, and an articulate writer. He reviewed not only art music but also jazz, popular music, film music, theater, and books. Often, especially in his longer articles and books, he approached extra-musical topics in history, finance, and politics. From 1940 to 1954 Thomson was head music critic for the New York Herald Tribune , where his reviews and other articles appeared regularly during the concert season, from about October through April. Due to his popularity, reviews were reprinted in several book-length collections.1 Thomson's engaging prose style and polemical approach captured readers' interest and generated a response which was, if not thoroughly positive, certainly always lively, as is evident in a recently published collection of correspondence between Thomson and his readers.2 Thomson exerted undeniable influence on the New York musical scene and on his readers' views of music and musicians, particularly new American music. Over the years he became known for challenging the managerial policies of performing institutions such as the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic which promoted a constricted repertory of largely 19th-century European "mainstream' works. He devoted increasing amounts of his reviewing space to performances of new music. In 1951, after ten years at the

Extractions: I am Virgil Watson, the sole proprietor of Hawksnest Realty, a native Eastern Shoreman with roots going back to the first settlers in this area in the 1600's. I am familiar with the Shore and its people. When I tell you that a certain place is a good hunting or fishing spot, it is because I have been there myself. If I tell you there is a good horse trail to the beach through the woods, I know because I have ridden the trail myself. About the Eastern Shore of Virginia.. This is one of the last undeveloped areas on the east coast of the United States; many of the people that live here are descendants of the original English stock that settled this country. They stayed here because they had no reason to move on, they had found paradise nestled between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The rich soil is some of the best farmland in the country. Prior to the introduction of irrigation to California and the southwest, the Eastern Shore of Virginia had the most valuable farmland in the country.

About Virgil

http://users.erols.com/antos/dante/about_virg.html

Extractions: While the exact birthdate of Virgil is not absolute, it is said to be October 15, 70 B.C. in the environs of Mantua in northern Italy. After he wrote his Eclogues (on which, at least in part, Dante's own Eclogues are based), Virgil joined the circle of artists and poets supported by the wealthy patron Maecenas, which gave him the economic freedom to spend most of the rest of his life writing. And write he did: by 29 B.C. he had written his Georgics, several didactic books about farming. In fact, one poem in Virgil's 4th book of the Eclogues which proclaims the coming a great messiah-like child has caught the eye of many scholars, Dante included

Extractions: The great Roman poet Virgil (also spelled Vergil) was born on Oct. 15, 70 BC, in Andes, a village near Mantua in northern Italy. Virgil spent his childhood on his father's farm and was educated at Cremona, Milan, and then Rome, where he studied rhetoric. There he met poets and statesmen who were to play an important part in his life. When civil war broke out in 49 BC, he retired to Naples where he studied philosophy with the Epicurean Siro. Beginning in 45 BC, encouraged by the statesman Pollio, Virgil spent eight or ten years composing the Eclogues , which were greatly admired in literary circles. They were adapted to the stage as mimes, and thus made him a popular, if elusive, figure. After the publication of the Eclogues , Virgil joined the literary circle of Gaius Maecenas, which would later include the poets Horace and Propertius. Over a period of seven years he wrote the
