JABEZ PRESS ANNOUNCES 2005 COMPOSITION INVITATIONAL WINNER

FORT WORTH, TEXAS
September 14, 2005

Jabez Press, LLC, a Fort Worth–based publishing company and record label, proudly announces Judith Lang Zaimont as the winner of the 2005 Jabez Press Composition Invitational. Her winning composition, A Calendar Set: Twelve Preludes for Piano Solo, will be published by Jabez Press and presented at the 2005 World Piano Pedagogy Conference in Anaheim, California, at the end of October.

Compositions were solicited from more than fifty established composers and were evaluated on compositional sophistication, appeal to advanced pianists, appeal to concertgoers, and marketability. Other distinguished competition finalists included:

Laurence Bitensky, Scent of the World We Gave Up
David Heuser, Twelve Miniatures for Piano
Liduino Pitombeira, Suite Brasiliera
Judith Lang Zaimont, Sonata for Piano Solo

“We are pleased to bring Judith Lang Zaimont’s work to the forefront and help it gain visibility in the standard repertoire,” said Douglas Briley, President of Jabez Press. “Ms. Zaimont’s ideas demonstrate that innovation doesn’t have to compromise approachability in contemporary concert music.”

Jabez Press publishes and records new compositions, transcriptions, and arrangements. As a publisher, Jabez Press distributes its concert and sacred music to performing musicians and teachers primarily through jabezpress.com and select retail music stores. As a record label, Jabez Press produces, markets, and distributes recordings that feature its own publications alongside works of other composers.
