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 contains a mix of liturgical and secular works of great variety and individuality.

Erik Simmons is a superb organist, making his tenth Cooman organ album for Divine Art. He is playing the wonderful ‘Sun Organ’ of St. Peter & Paul, Görlitz, recorded through the Hauptwerk system.

This is volume 10 of this highly praised series, which now extends to vol. 12 (vol. 13 to be released in June 2020). Click composer name above or in the composer index to access all volumes and the discounted complete set (1-12)

Reviews

Fanfare

[The organ] is a magnificent instrument sonically. Beautifully produced and recorded, with more than ample booklet notes by the composer him¬self, the celebration of the art of Carson Cooman continues.

” —Colin Clarke
The Chronicle

Liturgical in tone and slow, but not sombre. More of a sense of peace, and almost majestic in places. Music to be played and listened to – a nice collection of music.
