Early life and education

Portman was born in Haslemere in Surrey, England, the daughter of Sheila Margaret Penelope (née Mowat) Portman and Berkeley Charles Berkeley Portman. She was educated at Charterhouse and became interested in music from a young age, beginning composing at the age of 14.


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.


Career

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.


Her other works include a children's opera, The Little Prince (which was later adapted for television) and Little House on the Prairie, a musical based upon the Laura Ingalls Wilder books Little House on the Prairie (2008). Portman was commissioned to write a piece of choral music for the BBC Proms series in August 2007 called The Water Diviner's Tale.


Awards and honours

Portman's first award was received as the result of scoring "a large body of work" for The Storyteller, for which she received the Anthony Asquith Award from the British Film Institute.


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.


On 19 May 2010, she was given the Richard Kirk Award at the BMI Film & TV Awards for her contributions to film and television music. Portman is the first woman to receive the honour.


Portman was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours.


In 2015, Portman received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries, Movie, or a Special for her work on Bessie. 2022 she was honoured with the Career Achievement Award at the Zurich Film Festival.

May it Be - Lisa Kelly




This song was featured at the end of the 2001 movie "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring". Eithne -- pronounced Enya -- composed and performed "May It Be". Her full name is Eithne Ní Bhraonáin, and she hails from Donegal, on the remote north western tip of Ireland. This song was sung by Lisa Kelly on the debut album of Celtic Woman. They were initially featured on a PBS musical special, after which their popularity soared. The album was performed by vocalists: Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, Órla Fallon, and violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. Lyrics follow: May it be an evening star, Shines down upon you. 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 . . .
