Joan is very happy to share her scores with others.
A LIST OF TREBLE WORKS AND ARRANGEMENTS IS AVAILABLE by writing to Joan [email protected]
Being professor at the Italian State Music Conservatory allows Joan full access to libraries where she researches old manuscripts and editions of unknown polyphony and monody that she transcribes and adapts for her own singing groups and for publication. Her research from several old editions of Monteverdi's Canzonettes and Sacrae Cantiunculae led to a CD recording with the Barbara Strozzi Vocal Ensemble; four Canzonettes have recently been published by Treble Clef Music Press, USA. Many of her original compositions for Children's choirs have received prizes and are published with the Tolosa Choral Music Competitions (Spain). Unfortunately many publications are not distributed worldwide, so the opportunity of using the web to reach interested parties is a wonderful opportunity.
