I have to take exception to one of those. The one with the monk covered in foam. First, that’s a direct spoof on the Herb Alpert album cover for “Whipped Cream and other Delights” so it’s meant to be deliberately silly. Carmina Burana actually has songs in it about monks drinking, so the image is perfect for that. And I’ve worked with the Washington Symphonic Brass, they are a top-notch professional group, some of the best brass players anywhere. So laugh at the other album covers, but go buy the WSB one, it’s certain to be great.

Ubi, I was about to comment asking if the album cover indicates the quality of the recordings, but your analysis helped a lot.
Don’t judge an album just by it’s cover… right?

I wasn’t making any comment about the music — I just thought the album cover was weird. (That Herb Alpert whipped cream thing inspired a lot of copycats, but not all of them were as funny as this one.)
Decades ago, when my town still had a community choir, we sang “Carmina Burana,” and I loved it… although it was more fun for the men, since they got to sing the drinking songs while we sat on our hands waiting for our next entrance…

I’ve done Carmina a bunch of times and I agree – the men belting out “In Taberna” while we sit and wait. I just did a concert yesterday including the Faure Requiem. It’s beautiful, but there’s two movements where the Altos just sit around and sing a note or two at the end. Sheesh.

Did Fauré have something against altos?

He gave us a long weird chromatic passage in one movement, which doesn’t really make up for it. Altos seem to be an afterthought for a lot of composers.
Not Z. Randall Stroope, though. (I don’t know if you’ve ever done any of his stuff.) We had him as a guest composer some years back, and he told us that his wife was an alto, so he had to write interesting alto lines.

You know, I actually remember that Whipped Cream cover and wondered if this one was a reference to it. And I remembered that Carmina Burana is songs of renegade monks and scholars, so the tankard, etc. fits. And what about that pretzel shaped like the symbol for infinity?
I sort of like the Big Bear one, but yeah, a lot of these remind me of really bad self-pubbed book covers. I know about those because I created a few!

The Jay Ferguson cover is very cringy. I actually have this album. It isn’t very good but the single “Thunder Island” is a great song with some fantastic Joe Walsh guitar.
