Titling an album is always such a daunting task for me, and this project was no exception. I wanted this title in particular, to really reflect the type of Christmas songs that listeners would be experiencing. The music is warm and is perfect for lighting your Christmas tree, and in a time where so much of the popular music is layered with synthesized sounds, all of the music on this record features real musicians playing real instruments.
This gives the songs a classic sound. In working with artist Marie Skoor on our concept for artwork for both the cover and accompanying songbook, our ideas kept shifting to classic and slightly retro images. In looking at many of these images the title came to me, but of course not while trying to come up with it, but of course once I let it go, and in the middle of the night. "Snow Globe" was definitely to be the title. Here is the Cover art by Marie. This would be the recurring theme through out the songbook as well. Each songs illustration would go inside the Snow Globe. Ahhhhh! Happy with title and artwork.
