the program, I wanted to create a really driving sense of motion.
“For any project, I usually start composing at the piano, 
thinking about rough sound texture and what I want to create 
with the piece. I next turn to my notation software so I can 
notate music online. That’s when I play around with the materi-
al the most.
” 
Cohen’s commissioned piece is being joined with another 
premiere piece as well as well-known compositions. 
Before The NowBeat website, 
Cohen designed his personal web-
site and maintains it himself as he 
enters composing competitions 
through formal organizational 
websites.
“My site helps me keep track of 
all the different programs I par-
ticipated in and all the different 
happenings in my compositional 
life,
” he said. “I wanted to get an 
early start in having a professional 
composer’s presence online.
“I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be working with Pro Musica if that 
website (jonahcohenmusic.com) didn’t exist. I intend to keep it 
running because that’s how opportunities present themselves, 
especially with this pandemic. 
“When I submit my materials, I think if I don’t get first prize 
or honorable mention, it’s still useful because submitting my 
music means more people are hearing my music and hopefully 
will take a liking to it.
