Sacred Service - A Woman of Valor - Parable - Meditations
Judith Lang Zaimont is internationally recognized for her distinctive style, which is characterized by its expressive strength and dynamism. The works featured on this CD, spanning a creative period of twenty years, attest to the composer's breadth of musical vision. Her Sacred Service for the Sabbath Evening, for soloist, chorus, and symphony orchestra, is a beautiful concert setting of great liturgical and poetic texts. In a very different vein, Parable: A Tale of Abram and Isaac is a compact music-drama that fuses an archetypal biblical story with the World War I–inspired poetry of Wilfred Owen to offer a startling and thoughtprovoking vision. A setting of the beloved poem "A Woman of Valor" and two uplifting Meditations at the Time of the New Year complete this musical portrait of a uniquely gifted composer.
