Fantasia di collaborazione (2017)

Carlotta Ferrari (b. 1975) and Carson Cooman (b. 1982) — Fantasia di collaborazione (2017) for organ

“Fantasia di collaborazione” (2017) was composed as a collaboration by Carlotta Ferrari and Carson Cooman. The work employs the Restarting Pitch Space modal harmony system. The music was composed as an “exquisite corpse” in six sections, beginning with Ferrari, and alternating several times back and forth between the two composers until Cooman composed the final section.

Carlotta Ferrari (b. 1975) is an Italian composer. Educated at the Conservatory in Milan, she has composed in many genres, developing a personal language that is concerned with the blend of past and present. Her compositions have been performed frequently around the world. Ferrari’s music appears on several CD recordings, including four all-Ferrari organ CDs: three recorded by Carson Cooman (2014/16) and another by Peter Clark (2015). She served as chair of music composition at Hebei Normal University in Shijiazhuang, China and is currently professor of music composition at the European School of Economics in Florence, Italy.
