Nevertheless, when she was offered the opportunity to get a musical education, she accepted with enthusiasm and dedication. As a child she studied piano and choir singing. Some years later her music teachers encouraged her to approach Lyrical Singing. Since then she’s been constantly improving and taking care of her vocal talent, that was also incentive for her personal growth. She deeply believes in the uniqueness and fulfillment of every artistic journey, beyond common sense and standard rules. She obtained her Lyrical Singing Diploma - mezzosoprano - at the Conservatory of Music “G.Nicolini” in Piacenza. She graduated in foreign languages from the University of Pavia and obtained one Deutsch Institute Diploma and two Cambridge Certificates (PET, FCE). She speaks English, French and German, in addition to her native Italian. At the beginning of her career she sang in important philharmonic choirs: Verdi Choir in Milan, Maghini Choir and RAI National Orchestra in Turin, having the opportunity to work with R.

Collaborative Composition, Writing and Performing I want to start my remarks on collaborative processes in composition with a description of how the research landscape has changed in the 20 years since I started my PhD at the University of Manchester, where Marcos Lucas and I first met. Back then, there were really only a couple of ways one could do a PhD in music. The first was to carry out musicological research, predominantly in an area of music history, or perhaps of theory, maybe through reconstruction of artifacts such as scores or instruments, or by looking through sketches of a composer’s work to reconstruct their compositional method. Despite the variety of fields in which it was possible to research, the actual form of submission, that is, an 80,000 word thesis was the same. The only exception in music at the time was the compositional portfolio; in this model, which both Marcos and I followed, a series of pieces was composed accompanied by an analytical commentary of some 10,000 words which was meant to demonstrate that the candidate was familiar with a range of (mainly modernist) music, and in general could throw around a number of stylistic buzz-words.

At least, that’s what mine was like! I’m sure Marcos’ was different…A candidate’s suitability for PhD research was assessed by their submitting a few examples of written scores, and a statement that they intended to compose 6 or 7 pieces for a variety of ensembles – such was the “proposal”. The justification for this exceptional status accorded to composition was always that music had been part of the medieval quadrivium, and therefore composition was a special genre of thought, like mathematics, or theology.
