Ciampa is the first composer to write significant compositions in a Sicilian genre, most notably ''Suite Siciliana'' (Op. 145), for two Violin s, Piano , and Chamber Orchestra . He has also written a large amount of sacred music, including an Organ Symphony and numerous Masses. (The latter were deeply inspired by the great composer Lorenzo Perosi .) As a pianist Ciampa is best known for his interpretations of Chopin and Lecuona . Ciampa is the founding director of Coro Polifonico of Boston, whose wide repertoire includes the once-famous works of Lorenzo Perosi .
