David Coram Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Sorry folks, it's me again. CD goes off to press on Monday and I still haven't named it. The Orrrrgan of Romsey Abbey seems a tad lame. The track listing is - Guilmant - Scherzo Symphonique Bridge - Adagio in E Bach - Trio on Allein Gott Bach - O Mensch Franck - Choral 2 Scott - 2 Chorale Preludes Bach - Allein Gott fugue Gigout - Scherzo Bach - Nun Komm 659 Bach - Trio 6 Warlock - Capriol Suite Please, please, please, if anyone's got any decent suggestions for a name, I'd love to hear them. This is not an ego trip, it's someone panicking cos they've got 24 hours to come up with something! Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerco1956 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I would recommend: "Chorales & Caprioles at Romsey Abbey". Gerco Schaap (NL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David Hmmm... difficult to find a period or geographical link and it's probably best to avoid the obvious "organ masterworks", "pipes of splendour", "pulling out all the stops" and similar titles. "Take Note!" would be eye catching on the shelf and I don't think it has been used for any classical CDs before. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Clark Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Actually I think a header "Organ Music from Romsey Abbey" then "David Coram" underneath is as good as anything. By the way David 1) whose Capriol arrangement and 2) when is it in the shops? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D David, although I couldn't think of any worthwhile alternative suggestion, I still think your original instinct was correct. Buyers do judge a CD by its cover and I'm sorry to say that what the others have proposed is frightfully dull. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CD is simply called The Organ of Wimborne Minster Played by Sean Tucker It does have a nice picture on the front, though. Sales are still good.

Yes, but you have the luxury of a bookstall to sell it through (and a church which financed your recording). I don't, so it's going to have to be a DIY job in the local specialist record shops, of which the nearest is Bournemouth. I'm not sure Romsey is going to be a huge selling point in Bournemouth.

Romsey also has a bookstall - or do you not want them to handle it? This is still the best place. Are you sure that the Abbey shop would not sell it? This is probably going to be a little tricky if you do not use the Abbey shop as the main outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Abbey shop is closed until further notice for building works - until the Spring at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think The Organ of Romsey Abbey Played By David Coram If it were me, I would not bother with the "played by". "The Organ of Romsey Abbey" and "David Coram" is surely quite sufficient (as already suggested by Peter). The fewer words the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Humana Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I've just had a preview of this CD. Suffice it to say that those who have ordered a copy won't be disappointed. The organ sounds absolutely FABULOUS from beginning to end. It's not an over-large instrument, but it just oozes quality. And David's playing fully does it justice. I love his wonderful sense of spontaneity and engagement with the music. Boring it is not. And just in case you're wondering, he hasn't paid me to write this!
