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. -

Launched in 1993, initially as a national contemporary music summer school based at Wortley Hall – the trade union, Labour and Co-operative movements’ educational centre near Sheffield – its tutors were Diana Burrell, Simon Foxley, Mary King, Stephen Langridge, Gillian Moore, Daryl Runswick, John Tilbury, Tim Yealland and Judith Weir. Its purpose was to create an environment where amateur and professional musicians could come together to share their passion for new music. The CoMA summer school serves as the focus for commissioning new works suitable for amateur performance and Michael Finnissy’s Plain Harmony was the first such work to be commissioned, and the first to be flexibly scored. Ten years on, in 2003, this approach to instrumentation was to become central to CoMA’s commissioning policy following an invitation from Tate Liverpool for CoMA ensembles to perform music created in response to works in its Modern British Art postcard collection. -
