JABEZ PRESS ANNOUNCES 2007 COMPOSITION INVITATIONAL WINNER

FORT WORTH, TEXAS
April 16, 2008

Jabez Press, LLC, a Fort Worth–based publishing company and record label, proudly announces Robert Nelson as the winner of the 2007 Jabez Press Composition Invitational. His winning composition for two pianos, Impressions/Expressions, will be published by Jabez Press and presented at the 2008 World Piano Pedagogy Conference in Dallas, Texas, at the end of October.

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

    Don Freund, Piano Preludes: Book Three
    Matthew Van Brink, Sparkle Epoxiplast 2000

"We’re very excited about publishing Dr. Nelson’s Impressions/Expressions," said Douglas Briley, President of Jabez Press. "This is the kind of work which pianists will enjoy playing, and audiences will enjoy hearing. We hope he will continue writing for the piano, since he shows such a natural understanding of what really works for the instrument."

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.
