More Info:
Carson Cooman is many things musical - organist and Composer in Residence at the Memorial Church, Harvard University; writer, critic and consultant, concert organist, and above all a highly prolific composer of music in a wide variety of genres, from orchestral to song. His organ compositions come in many styles, from liturgical models, to more gritty and substantial pieces such as his organ symphonies and preludes and fugues. This album includes several works written to honor fellow musicians and the fine Organ Symphony No. 2, a work of restraint and mainly pastoral mood. Erik Simmons is a superb organist, making his ninth Cooman organ album for Divine Art. He is playing the main and transept organs of Laurenskerk, Rotterdam, recorded through the Hauptwerk system. This is volume 9 of this highly praised series. Volumes 10 and 11 have been recorded and are scheduled for release in 2019.
