After finishing school, Portman studied Music at Worcester College, Oxford. It was here that her interest in composing music for films began as she started experimenting with writing music for student films and theatre productions.

Portman's career in music began with writing music for drama in BBC and Channel 4 films such as Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Mike Leigh's Four Days in July and Jim Henson's Storyteller series.

Since then, Portman has written over 100 scores for film, television and theatre.

Portman was commissioned to write a piece of choral music for the BBC Proms series in August 2007 called The Water Diviner's Tale.

Later, Portman became the first female composer to win an Academy Award in the category of Best Musical or Comedy Score (for Emma in 1996). Portman was also nominated for Academy Awards for her scores for The Cider House Rules in 1999 and Chocolat in 2000.

May it be when darkness falls, Your heart will be true. You walk a lonely road; Oh, how far you are from home.... Mornie utulie (darkness has come), Believe and you will find your way. Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen), A promise lives within you now.... May it be the shadows call, Will fly away. May it be your journey on, To light the day. When the night is overcome, You may rise to find the sun. Mornie utulie (darkness has come), Believe and you will find your way. Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen), A promise lives within you now . . . A promise lives within you now . . .
