Publishers Information
Jean Jobert, after having worked for a few years with Eugène Fromont, at the beginning of the 20th Century, and having met composers such as Claude Debussy , Maurice Ravel , Maurice Delage ... decided, after the death of Eugène Fromont, to resume his collection of publishing and to buy other publishing funds and thus create, in April 1921, Editions Jean Jobert. At the start of this adventure, the flagships of the company were obviously a certain number of works by Debussy, including Le Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, Les Nocturnes or even La Suite Bergamasque with its famous Clair moon. These major masterpieces of musical heritage have made it possible to finance many new works. Thus works by Maurice Delage, Manuel Rosenthal , Paul Paray ... were published in the first premises occupied by Editions Jobert, rue du Colisée in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.

In 1957, Jean Jobert passed on his business to his daughter Denise Jobert-Georges. She continues the policy initiated by her father: an approach based on the principle of pleasure and the totally subjective choice of its leader, with a development of "sure values" and "risk-taking". Composers with whom she forged ties of friendship, works that touched her and an abundant Festival, that of Royan, enabled her to meet composers of the future in the 1960s and 1970s, and this is how she publishes more than 400 works; Maurice Ohana , Alain Bancquart , Hugues Dufourt , Emanuel Nunes , Philippe Boesmans , Ton-That Tiêt,, Edith Canat de Chizy and many others are welcomed in the premises of 76 rue Quincampoix in Paris in the 3rd arrondissement.
Completing the editorial collection, Denise Jobert-Georges bought two important catalogs in 1995, Editions Costallat and Editions Musicales du Marais. The former bring together around 400 titles, which are, for the most part, realizations or adaptations of Baroque works as well as a large collection of works by Berlioz (Editions Costallat having bought out Editions Richaud, Berlioz's first publisher) and the seconds bring together a critical edition of certain works by César Franck, Georges Bizet, Ernest Chausson, Camille Saint-Saens and Emmanuel Chabrier.
With the arrival in 1998, at the head of the company, of Tristan de Celeyran, grandson of Denise, Editions Jobert will take a new turn. The "technology", necessary in a musical sector in full evolution or mutation which passes by the computerization, the development of Internet and an orientation towards the new forms of communication. Several composers joined Editions Jobert (including Thierry Blondeau , Dominique Lemaître , Pascale Criton , Florence Baschet , Jean-Louis Agobet , Dao , Lucien Guerinel , Jean-Christophe Marti , Frédéric Durieuxand many others), instrumental collections are created and an "interactive" Cig'Art department is born. In 2000, Editions Jobert became a member of the Le Living Association (Village of contemporary musical creation) of which Tristan de Celeyran was the first president.
Since 2007, Editions Jobert have been managed by Pierre Lemoine, and continue to renew their catalog.[1]
