Judith Lang Zaimont’s acclaimed music embraces a wide variety of forms. One of her earliest works is Nocturne: La fin de siècle, written as a ‘personal valentine to the great pianist-composers of the Romantic Era’. Rich in contrast, perfect in form, it provides a deeply enriching listening experience. A Calendar Set (1978) charts the months of the year with imagination and precision, whilst the introduction of carols and familiar songs adds to the setting’s lyricism. Sonata was completed in 2000 and is one of her most challenging works – atmospheric, quite impressionistic in places, and ending with a brilliantly virtuosic finale.
